Origins of Béarnaise Sauce

The creation of Béarnaise sauce is attributed to Jean-Louis-François Collinet (1798-1865). The name is said to have been chosen in homage to King Henry IV, who was from Pau in Béarn.

Variations on Béarnaise Sauce

The chef suggests several variations of Béarnaise sauce, which enhance and diversify the flavours depending on the dish:

• Choron Sauce: Béarnaise sauce with the addition of well-reduced tomato coulis, providing a fruity note and a characteristic colour, perfect for accompanying grilled meats and fish.

• Choron Sauce: With the addition of saffron and lemon juice, ideal for poached or grilled fish, or grilled asparagus.

• Foyot or Valois Sauce: This variation involves incorporating Effluves & Quintessence© meat glace into the Béarnaise sauce, for a touch of indulgence and added depth of flavour, perfect for accompanying grilled meats.
