You can now get Terry’s Chocolate Orange mayonnaise

Excuse moi?

Heinz's [Seriously] Good Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mayo launched today just in time for the festive season.

The chocolate orange mayo (yes, really) is made with free-range eggs, melted Terry’s Chocolate Orange segments, crème patissière and some Terry’s signature real orange oil. The good news is that it sounds like it tastes more like a chocolate spread than regular mayonnaise. The bad news is that there's only 75 jars of the stuff being made in the world - so if you fancy getting your hands on one, yule (sorry) need to be quick.

Elaine McCague, Senior Commercial & Marketing Manager at Heinz Ireland, says the brand wanted to create the most Christmassy mayonnaise possible. And in fairness, they probably have done just that.

"And who better to partner with for that than the iconic Terry’s Chocolate Orange, one of the country’s favourite Christmas treats," she said. "And so, after months of development, we are absolutely delighted to be launching the world’s first-ever Chocolate Orange Mayo, just in time for Christmas.

“We only ever use the quality ingredients with our [Seriously] Good Mayo and our new limited-edition Heinz [Seriously] Good Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mayo is no exception.”

Laure Gentil, Marketing Controller, Terry’s Chocolate Orange added: “At Terry’s we are proud to offer a large variety of formats and flavours to be eaten all-year round when it comes to our delicious chocolate orange: from the iconic orange ball that we all know and love, to our sharing bags and handy bars to eat on the go… and now Heinz [Seriously] Good Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mayo!"

She went on: "We always say that you can never get bored with Terry’s Chocolate Orange, and our new collaboration with Heinz epitomises this. Since Terry’s Chocolate Orange launch in 1932, we have never stopped innovating, growing, and launching new formats and flavours to delight our loyal fans, and we are proud to be continuing this this Christmas with our mayo mash up, which works perfectly as a delicious spread.”

As we know, these jars can't be bought in store, so if you fancy trying one out you'll need to head over to Heinz’s social media channels for more information on how to win one. The competition runs from December 1 to 13.
