What does it mean when mayonnaise separates?

A.: Your jar of mayonnaise likely has spent too much time in the coldest part of your refrigerator and probably got frozen at some point. This often happens when the jar gets pushed to the back of the refrigerator and forgotten. Freezing will cause mayonnaise to separate.

Answer 2

Whisk a fresh egg yolk in a separate bowl and then slowly add your existing, split, mayonaise into that egg (as you were doing with the oil). Once that's incorporated, add any leftover oil that you have. The trick is to do it so ridiculously slowly that you think it will never come together. But it will :)
