In the 1840's, the tabasco pepper was cultivated
near Tabasco, Mexico. In 1848, it was transferred
to Louisiana where after the Civil War the famous
McIlhenny family began growing Tabasco peppers on
Avery Island.
They fermented a pepper sauce and named it Tabasco®.

grown in Central America and Columbia and then shipped
back to Louisiana for manufacture. |
