Tabasco

Tabasco is a world-renowned hot sauce made from tabasco chilli peppers, vinegar and salt. It originates from the United States and has been produced continuously since 1868 by the McIlhenny Company on Avery Island in Louisiana. It is known for its intense heat, sharp acidity and vivid red colour. In the kitchen, it is used as a seasoning for soups, sauces, marinades and meat dishes. It is also a staple in cocktails, the classic Bloody Mary would be unthinkable without it. With its negligible calorie content, it can be used virtually without restriction.
