Definition

1. Noun:
   • A cold sauce or condiment: A thick, creamy emulsion made primarily from garlic, olive oil, and often egg yolks, similar to mayonnaise but with a pronounced garlic flavor.

Usage

• As a noun: "Aioli sauce" is typically used as an uncountable noun to refer to the condiment itself. It is commonly served with seafood, vegetables, grilled meats, or as a spread on sandwiches.
