Australian chefs choose ‘Best Mayonnaise’

Proudly Australian-made, Birch & Waite has won the ‘Best Mayonnaise’ at the 2024 ChefsDecision™ Awards, as voted by Australian Professional Chefs for the 3rd consecutive time and being the reigning champion in this category since 2020.

Birch & Waite’s passion for superior quality food began when our founder Willi Schultheiss migrated from rural Switzerland. He longed for a fresh and creamy whole egg mayonnaise just like he enjoyed back home. So, in 1990, in collaboration with co-founder Peter Flick, they took seventy-three attempts to perfect Australia’s first fresh European-Style Whole Egg Mayonnaise.

This endless pursuit of culinary perfection and innovation led Birch & Waite to partner with many of Australia’s leading chefs which shaped us into the company it is today: a benchmark for superior quality mayonnaise, dressings, relishes, sauces, and desserts.

This is the fifth ChefsDecision™ Award for Birch & Waite, having previously taken the crown for both mayonnaise and hollandaise and being the current champion for both.

Birch & Waite’s Chief Executive Officer Paul O’Brien responded, “We are proud to have our Whole Egg Mayonnaise recognised. This has been our signature product for over 30 years, and it is humbling to see that it is still recognised as the preferred mayonnaise of Australian chefs. This achievement is a testament to the collaboration between our team, our chef customers, and the Australian farmers we trust to provide us with the finest ingredients.”

Run by ChefPanel, an Australian company specialising in FoodService research, ChefsDecision™ recognises Australia’s very best FoodService products and services. ChefPanel surveyed 329 FoodService decision makers who scored the Hollandaise ChefsDecision™ Awards based on taste, versatility, texture, ease of use and value for money. Birch & Waite’s Whole Egg Mayonnaise was judged the best amongst the leading foodservice mayonnaise products available.

A local business with over 30 years of homegrown heritage, Birch & Waite believes that exceptional taste starts with the finest, fresh Australian ingredients, combined with batch crafted techniques and authentic chef-standard recipes.  Birch & Waite’s endless pursuit for culinary perfection and innovation continues to set the benchmark in Australia for superior quality mayonnaise, sauces, dressings, relishes, and desserts.
