Fallon and Enig’s “Nourishing Traditions” cookbook contains a similar recipe for mayo. In their recipe whey is optional, and if excluded reduces the life of the mayo, but if included a period of fermentation is not required.
I’ve made mayo with and without whey, and with whey it lasts a lot longer, even if you put it directly in the fridge.
Homemade mayo is well worth it, and once you get the procedure down takes very little time.
