Made in Italy - 100% Italian eggs - Béarnaise sauce is a preparation made with fresh Italian butter, egg yolk, chopped tarragon, and white wine vinegar. It is a very delicate and creamy sauce suitable for dressing vegetables; it is often served as an accompaniment to meat dishes, such as steaks, pork, and chicken. Fun fact: Béarnaise sauce is named after the Swiss city of Bern. Its exact origin is uncertain, but legend has it that it was created by the French chef Auguste Escoffier, who worked at the Grand Hotel in Montreux, Switzerland, at the end of the 1800s. Escoffier is said to have created the sauce as a tribute to the victory of a Swiss general during the Napoleonic wars.
