Question

How long does it take to make Tabasco sauce

Answer 1

over a year.  They make the pulp and then put it in wooden barrels.  Then they put a thick layer of salt on top to seal it.  Maybe 3 years, I forget that part of the tour.

I have been to the Tabasco farm 3 or 4 times but only did the plant tour once.  I go to the store there when we are in Louisiana because they have many products that aren't on the market in my area.

Answer 2

as long as it takes to drive to the store and get it.
