THOMY Mayonnaise à la Française 4.25 kg — the professional benchmark of Swiss gastronomy
THOMY Mayonnaise à la Française is a cold emulsified sauce made with 80% sunflower oil and 5% free-range egg yolk, supplied in a 4.25 kg professional pail. Its high fat content delivers a firm, stable consistency that holds its shape on cold platters and buffets without separating. Produced in Switzerland by Nestlé under the THOMY brand, it is the everyday choice of pizzerias, sandwich bars, canteens and high-volume caterers that need a reliable, consistent mayonnaise.
What «à la française» means
The «à la française» recipe is richer and denser than a classic salad mayonnaise: more oil, more egg yolk, a tighter emulsion. The result is a sauce that pipes cleanly, stays standing on a plate and resists weeping under service lights — exactly what a professional kitchen needs for cold work, garnishing and dispensing.
The THOMY brand
THOMY traces its roots to 1907, when industrial mustard production began in Switzerland under what would become the THOMY name. The brand was registered in Basel and has been based there since 1930; THOMY launched the first industrially produced mayonnaise in Europe in 1951 and joined the Nestlé group in 1971. Today THOMY is one of the most recognised sauce brands in Swiss hospitality.
Sensory profile
Pale ivory colour, dense and glossy texture, clean lactic-acid balance from vinegar and a discreet mustard note (1.4%). The high oil ratio gives a long, round mouthfeel without the watery finish of lighter salad mayonnaises.
