Los Angeles, California (2018) – Melissa’s pre-made Hollandaise Sauce is perfect for the novice cook.

While this well-known sauce of primarily butter and egg yolk has been part of French cuisine since the 17th century, the name Hollandaise came about during a World I butter shortage in France. French chefs had to import this ingredient from Holland and began calling the sauce made from the imported butter “Hollandaise”, meaning Holland-style or from Holland. After the war, the French dairy industry recovered but the name stuck. Melissa’s Hollandaise Sauce is made in France of entirely natural ingredients in the classic tradition.
