Ingredients
Distilled vinegar, Red pepper, Salt
The original American hot sauce, Tabasco has been made on Avery Island, Louisiana since 1868 with just three ingredients: aged red peppers, vinegar, and salt. The peppers are mashed and aged for three years in white oak barrels, producing a sharp, vinegary sauce with clean pepper heat that has defined the category for over 150 years. At 2,500–5,000 SHU, it’s mild enough to shake liberally over oysters, eggs, pizza, and Bloody Marys.
