Description

A premium 100g béarnaise sauce is a rich, creamy French emulsion sauce known for its distinctive tangy flavor, primarily derived from tarragon, shallots, and white wine vinegar. It is a classic accompaniment, especially renowned as one of the world’s finest sauces for steak and other grilled meats. 

Key Characteristics
Flavor Profile: The sauce has a rich and pronounced flavor, a delicate balance of acidity from the vinegar and the sweet, slightly anise-like notes of fresh tarragon. Shallots and black pepper also contribute to its aromatic complexity.
Texture: It possesses a thick, smooth, and velvety consistency, similar to a rich mayonnaise, due to the emulsification of egg yolks and butter (often clarified butter).
Ingredients: While recipes vary slightly by brand, core ingredients typically include water, rapeseed/sunflower oil, tarragon vinegar, egg yolks, salt, milk protein, and tarragon leaves.
Usage: It is incredibly versatile and traditionally served warm with fine cuts of meat, grilled fish, vegetables, or used as a luxurious dip for fries or a gourmet sandwich filling.
Packaging: A 100g portion typically comes in a small jar, sachet, or squeeze bottle, designed for individual or a few servings.
Storage: Most commercially prepared béarnaise sauces are shelf-stable at room temperature until opened, after which they require refrigeration.
