We show that the asymmetry in the fractional energy of charm versus anticharm jets produced in high energy diffractive photoproduction is sensitive to the interference of the Odderon (C = -) and Pomeron (C = +) exchange amplitudes in QCD. Measurements of this asymmetry at HERA could provide the first evidence for the presence of Odderon exchange in the high energy limit of strong interactions.
