**McCormick (especially Mayonesa con Jugo de Limón) dominates the Mexican mayonnaise market, holding roughly 70% share.**
It is the clear #1 due to its creamy texture, distinctive lime flavor (popular for elotes, tortas, and other Mexican dishes), and widespread availability. It has long been a household staple.
Here are the **top 5 mayonnaise brands in Mexico**, based on market dominance, popularity/sales (e.g., Amazon bestsellers), consumer mentions, and quality evaluations from Profeco (Mexico's consumer protection agency):
1. **McCormick** (Mayonesa con Jugo de Limón) The undisputed leader and most popular brand. It stands out for its lime-infused flavor that Mexicans prefer over standard mayo. It's frequently cited as the go-to for authentic taste and tops sales charts.
2. **La Costeña** A strong Mexican brand often ranked highly in Profeco studies for quality ingredients (egg yolk, vegetable oil, vinegar, lime juice), authentic flavor, and consistency. It's a favorite for traditional use.
3. **Great Value** (Walmart's house brand) Frequently tops or ranks very high in Profeco quality tests for low fat content, good value, compliance with labeling, and solid taste/texture. It's a popular, affordable everyday option.
4. **Member’s Mark** (Costco's house brand) or **Hellmann’s** - **Member’s Mark**: Praised in Profeco evaluations for large formats (great for families/businesses), quality, and value. - **Hellmann’s**: A major international player with strong presence; often mentioned alongside McCormick in consumer discussions and available in various formats (including reduced-fat).
5. **Heinz** or **Maille** (premium option) - **Heinz**: Noted for unique flavor, firm texture, and good performance in tests. - **Maille** (French-style fine mayo): Highlighted in Profeco for high quality, traditional recipe, and refined taste.
### Quick Notes - **Profeco rankings** (quality, ingredients, labeling, value) often favor store brands like Great Value, La Costeña, Member’s Mark, and select premiums like Maille/Heinz for compliance and attributes like fat content. These are not purely sales-based but reflect tested quality. - Mexican mayo (mayonesa) commonly includes lime juice for a brighter, tangier profile suited to local cuisine, unlike many U.S. versions. - Other notables: Aurrera (Walmart Mexico), Kraft (in some tests), and private labels.
Preferences vary by use (e.g., McCormick for street food authenticity, lighter options for daily use). Check recent Profeco *Revista del Consumidor* for the latest lab results, as formulations can change. Availability is highest at supermarkets like Walmart, Soriana, and Costco.

Interesting. Thanks. A couple days ago I bought some Walmart “Great Value” Greeek yogurt. It is half the price of the high-end “Fage” brand at Safeway! It’s slightly thinner than the Fage, but, other than that, I don’t notice any difference. Makes a great dessert with some Lakanto allulose/monk fruit sweetener and blueberries and raspberries.
I’ve bought Walmart branded milk, salmon, and beef with the same high quality and low price.
Sinko da MAYO?

During the Second Punic War, Mago Barca (3rd Century BC) is said to have founded or taken shelter at a port on the island of Menorca (one of the Balearic Islands). This port was named Portus Magonis in his honor, which eventually evolved into the modern city of Mahón (or Maó in Catalan). The locals in Mahón had a traditional garlic-and-oil sauce. In 1756, the French Duke de Richelieu captured the city from the British. The Duke’s chef either discovered the local sauce or invented a version of it to celebrate the victory. It was originally called mahonnaise (meaning "in the style of Mahón"), which later morphed into the French word mayonnaise.

I like "the rest is history" podcast because it has my favorite historian Tom holland (not the spiderman actor!) in it
Cool - thanks for sharing.
Ha, that’s what I just said. Dukes.
Used to chow on imbiss food while in Germany. Just found some Homann pommes sauce cremig in a squirt container. Oh, my.

Questions like that are why I lost on Jeopardy!
Budget brand. The store closest to my stocks it, but I’ve seen it at Walmart.
No love for Miracle Whip around here.
Dukes mayonnaise in the quart jars has been on sale at local grocers for the past several weeks.
My wife invested in the sale product and we now have a considerable Duke’s mayonnaise asset.
