    i know this aint the answer you are looking for but making your own hollandaise is a pile of pisss and very tasty.

    Beat 3 egg yolks. Melt and clarify 225g of butter. Add a drizzle of white wine vinegar (or lemon juice) to the eggs and add in a tablespoon of cold water. Pinch of salt and pepper here too. By hand, whisk in the clarified butter. You will get a really rich creamy hollandaise thats hard to beat

    Is Hollandaise sauce from Holland ?

    Stupid question make me find interesting answer :P

    History - Most historians agree that it was originally called Sauce Isigny after a town in Normandy, Isigny-sur-Mer, known for its butter. Today, Normandy is called the cream capital of France. During World War I, butter production came to a halt in France and had to be imported from Holland. The name was changed to hollandaise to indicate the source of the butter and was never changed back.

    I'll try Superquinn and if that fails I'll try making it.

    Have looked for it in F&B and they didn't have it. Not fresh stuff anyway.

    The Saucy Fish Co do hollandaise sauce - it's actually pretty good but I'd sharpen it up myself with another little squeeze of lemon. Tesco stock this product

    M&S do Bearnaise which is similar (few herbs thrown in) yet to try mind you.
