Tabasco sauce is a brand of hot sauce made exclusively from tabasco peppers, vinegar and salt. It has a hot, spicy flavor.
The sauce is produced by the US-based McIlhenny Company.
Varieties:
Several sauces are produced under the Tabasco brand name, including jalapeño-based green, chipotle-based smoked, habanero, garlic, "sweet and spicy", and "Buffalo style" sauces. The habanero, chipotle, and garlic sauces include the tabasco peppers blended with other peppers, whereas the jalapeño variety does not include tabasco peppers. None of these have the three-year aging process the flagship product uses.
