A classic mayo made with a base of non-toxic oil – duck fat!
I’m not sure if it’s just my palette and the fact that I haven’t had “real” (SAD) mayo for many moons, but I was so satisfied with the way this came out.
For you carnivore studs, there is a carnivore variation of this mayo (up at the top). I’m not sure how tasty it would be (probably a bit on the bland side without the lemon, Dijon, and ACV), but it will definitely work.

How to make Carnivore Mayonnaise Recipe
Mix all of the ingredients except for the duck fat in a blender until nice and smooth.
Keep the blender running on medium speed, and add the duck fat VERY slowly – like at a drip speed. It should take about 4 minutes to add all of the duck fat.
After all of the duck fat is added, blend a little longer (about 30 seconds – 1 minute) until the mixture reaches the consistency of mayo.
Gobble up and enjoy. Add it to your steaks, make my Cobb ‘Salad’ with Duck Fat Ranch Dressing, or pair it with whatever!
Store in the fridge in an air-tight container or in a condiment squeeze bottle, if you prefer.
Tips to make the best Carnivore Mayonnaise Recipe
- When you add the duck fat to the base mixture, make sure you add it VERY slowly. I know you’re probably itching to eat this fatty goodness, but don’t rush this part!
- If storing in a condiment squeeze bottle, the mayo may firm up a bit after sitting in the fridge. Just squeeze the bottle a few times to massage it and it will end up squeezing out.

Thank you for a great recipe. After several attemps, I found using a mixer while the egg/fat ate placed in a bowl of ice water~14C. Perfect texture.

How long does this last for in the fridge?
Author
It will keep for a few weeks (up to about a month) in an airtight container in the fridge.
Is there a substitute for duck fat in this recipe? Bacon grease?

I’ve never tried it, but bacon fat should work.
I will try this recipe, but not with duck fat.There were a few instances where my husband baked wit duck fat, and once I got home I was ready to go back outside, and never come back until my house was completely duck fat smell free.The smell is horrible, very heavy to the nose. Grew up on the farm and 3 things I hated most was the smell of turkey (the whole thing), chicken and duck fat.
I have organic pastured lard, so I will give it a try.I know tallow won’t be a good idea due to its hardness.
This recipe tastes nothing like mayo. It tastes horrible. Can’t believe I wasted money on ingredients for this.
