Alioli is a typical sauce of Mediterranean gastronomy formed by the emulsion of olive oil and garlic.
It is usually used as a condiment in some dishes, especially in preparations based on fish or shellfish, sometimes as a sauce served separately. It is part of garlic-based sauces. It is common in regions and islands of the Mediterranean arch between Spain, France and Italy, such as Provence (where it is called Le Grand Aïoli) or Liguria. In certain areas of Africa, a very similar preparation called Toum is made. Among these dishes we can mention the universal arroz a banda and the cauldron of Alicante and Murcia.
