I’ve actually been to their factory in southern Louisiana. The workers there are very nice and there’s a whole tour on the history and process of the sauce, as well as a gift shop and restaurant. The weirdest thing there is the Tabasco ice cream that is simultaneously really sweet and creamy but hot enough to blow smoke from your ears

According to the Tabasco company, Tabasco was first produced by Edmund McIlhenny in 1868, but there's more to it than that. The story actually begins in the pre-Civil War era with a New Orleans plantation owner named Maunsel White, who was famous for the food served at his sumptuous dinner parties. He drew inspiration from European, Caribbean, and Cajun sources. But one of his favorite sauces was of his own devising, made from the Tabasco chili. White added it to various dishes and bottled it for his guests. Although the McIlhennys have tried to dismiss the possibility, it seems clear now that in 1849, a full two decades before Edmund McIlhenny professed to discover the Tabasco pepper, White was already growing Tabasco chilies on his plantation.
Interesting fact: Tabasco is one of the few US companies to be granted a Royal Warrant that certified it as a supplier to the British monarch by Elizabeth II in 2009. Elizabeth II's love of Tabasco was thanks to her mother, who during WWII sent her staff to scourge London for it!

The part that fascinates me the most is that at some point, someone figured out all these steps through trial and error, which led us to the product we enjoy today :)
I mean, ferment for three years? Mix for 3-4 weeks?? It amazes me that someone had the patience and ingenuity to develop and perfect that process!

Tabasco peppers are from the Mexican state of Tabasco, a state just west of the Yucatan Peninsula! My go-to hot sauce is Valentina from Guadalajara, but I still appreciate the crew at Avery Island that makes their iconic product possible! Not to mention the fact Avery Island is named Avery just like me 😂. Fun fact, Avery Island is a SALT DOME! There are plenty of salt domes in Louisiana, as there are massive salt deposits along the Texas and Louisiana coastline. Salt domes are formed due to a phenomenon called diapirism, which is when lighter materials force their way up through denser ones. In this case, a mound of salt has intruded upwards into overlying sediments.

I can't believe the cameraman stood there for 3 whole years and never stopped recording. What a trooper
