Tabasco, everyone has heard of it or tried the hot pepper sauce at some time or another.
- Just after the Civil War, Edmund McIlhenny obtained some capsicum pepper plants and invented a product that is today exported around the world. The peppers are mashed, mixed with rock salt from the salt mine on Avery Island and fermented in barrels for three years. Then the mash is mixed with vinegar, bottled, labeled and shipped around the world. The company is still run today by descendants of the founder.
Daily bottle count.
Tabasco Sauce is labeled in nineteen different languages and shipped to one hundred and forty countries.
