In the world of high-end dining, 5-star hotels and first-class in-flight catering, there is an unseen challenge that keeps executive chefs and Food & Beverage Managers on their toes every day: how to cater for special dietary requirements without compromising on the elegance of the dining experience or gourmet flavours?
Until now, responding to requests for egg-free, gluten-free or lactose-free products has meant making painful compromises: bland, single-use plastic sachets, industrial formulations packed with additives, or improvised preparations carrying a high risk of contamination in the kitchen.
Today, from the Tuttovo / Biobontà factory in Rivoli (Turin), comes an innovation set to redefine industry standards: the first Organic Rice Mayonnaise in a 30g glass jar with a copper-coloured cap, a world exclusive created specifically for premium single-portion service.
Not all ‘rice mayonnaises’ are the same: the difference between premium ingredients and industrial shortcuts
To understand the significance of this innovation, we need to take a look behind the scenes of food formulation. In recent years, the market has seen the emergence of various plant-based alternatives, but a careful analysis of the labels reveals an often disappointing reality.
Many commercial brands offer so-called ‘rice’ mayonnaises made by mixing isolated rice proteins with rice syrup, seed oil and a whole host of synthetic thickeners. The result? A formula devised in a laboratory, packed with sugar and a far cry from the idea of natural, wholesome food.
Biobontà has chosen the opposite path: the path of transparency and Italian tradition.
Our recipe starts with genuine organic rice flour, carefully processed to achieve a naturally creamy, velvety and stable texture, without the need for syrups or chemical additives. It is an authentic combination of the raw ingredient that symbolises the Po Valley and Piedmontese culinary expertise.

Biobontà’s 30g Organic Rice Mayonnaise is the perfect ‘Problem Solver’:
- EGG-FREE: Ideal for those following a vegan diet or with severe egg allergies.
- GLUTEN-FREE: Certified gluten-free to ensure maximum safety for passengers or customers with coeliac disease.
- LACTOSE-FREE: 100% plant-based, free from milk proteins.

A single product on a tray or at a buffet covers the full range of modern dietary restrictions, guaranteeing guests a taste experience that leaves them with no reason to miss classic mayonnaise.
