# Co-Branded Deviled Egg Trays The Duke's Mayo x Mason Hereford Collab Dresses Up Kitchen Tools By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2025-04-04 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dukes-mayo-x-mason-hereford References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/dukes-mayonnaise-teams-up-with-chef-mason-hereford-for-launch-of-limited-edition-kitchen-tools-302420143.html) & [dukesmayo](https://dukesmayo.com/)  In preparation for Easter and the arrival of spring, a limited-edition [Duke's Mayo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dukes-mayo) x [Mason Hereford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mason-dixie-foods-products) collection dropped to elevate home kitchens and enhance the way people enjoy a classic recipe made with mayonnaise. The two-piece collection includes a two-toned, speckled melamine deviled egg tray and a spatula for assembling the poppable bites. Chef and restauranteur Mason Hereford is passionate about Duke's as his go-to mayonnaise of choice in his culinary creations—so much so that he sports an arm tattoo with Winnie the Pooh guzzling a jar of Duke's Mayo. "As a standalone, I slather it on tomato sandwiches and dip my french fries in it, but I also use it as the base to a ton of sauces and classic dishes like deviled eggs," says Hereford. Fit for springtime gatherings and backyard barbecues in the summer, these co-branded kitchen tools dress up the presentation of deviled eggs made with Duke's Mayo.
