TABASCO Brand Original Red Pepper Sauce

TABASCO Brand Original Red Pepper Sauce is one of the world's most iconic condiments. It was first created in 1868 by Edmund McIlhenny on Avery Island, Louisiana, USA. The sauce is famously made from three simple ingredients: tabasco peppers, vinegar, and salt. The peppers are harvested by hand, mashed with salt, and then aged in oak barrels for up to three years before being blended with high-quality distilled vinegar.

To this day, the brand remains under the private ownership of the McIlhenny Company, headquartered in its original location of Avery Island. Manufacturing is centralized in Louisiana to ensure flavor consistency across all markets. The company remains a family-owned business, spanning several generations, and distributes its products to over 195 countries and territories worldwide.
