Description

Experience the unmistakable flavor that started it all with Tabasco Brand Original Red Pepper Sauce (Classic). First created by Edmund McIlhenny in 1868 on Avery Island, Louisiana, this world-renowned hot sauce is still made using the same artisanal, three-ingredient process over 150 years later. Premium sun-ripened red tabasco peppers are hand-picked, crushed into a mash, and aged in white oak whiskey barrels for up to three years before being blended with high-grade distilled vinegar and mineral-rich salt. The result is a vibrant, concentrated pepper sauce that enriches and enlivens food without masking its natural flavors.
