When I was writing a profile on the Tabasco company for one of my college-level business textbooks years ago, I called the company to request some background information. I almost fell off my chair when Paul McIlhenny himself answered the phone. We had a great conversation. What a terrific memory!
Sounds awesome, thanks for sharing
Wow that is really cool. Glad you got to experience that 👍
Wholesome af
Paul has been dead for almost 70 years.
Could it have been Paul’s ghost? His souls allegedly still roams the offices.
Did you hear chains jingling or ghostly groans? Or anything.
I’m writing a paper about Paul mchleny ghost and any info would be useful.

From someone who served as an EOD tech in the military for 12 years, I thank you Tobasco for those little bottles put in the MRE packs. Amazing.
Saved every one of those bottles I came across. Beef Patty always had it
literally you repeated what someone said 3 years ago- congrats
@@siddhartha1724 There's many grunts out there who were thankful for those little bottles of flavor. Many times, they could make the bad MRE dishes actually edible.
They got rid of the bottles. It’s packet’s now. Depressing. Out of everything the troops didn’t deserve that cheating out.
Like Michael said I just got a new box of MRE’s and they have little packets of hot sauce now and it’s not Tobasco and nowhere near as good.
When your employees are this happy to be apart of something it's really special and extremy rare.
They are probably fairly compensated too.
Complete opposite of working at amazon
Everyone he interviewed with were stakeholders of course they're gonna seem happy
Theyre getting paid well
@@ryanrodriguez2660 Woodman's is an "employee owned company", but everyone who works there looks depressed.
As a former member of the military - we really liked those tiny bottles in our MRE's - thanks guys
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamen!!!!
Skittles and Tabasco sauce is alright by me.
Absolutely!

yeah i was just about to post that. he was really earnest in his discussions.
His voice is so damn annoying... Enjoyed the content however.

He sounds genuinely interested. Unless you're in his mind
No he's not !
I ate Tabasco sauce in MRE's at least once a week for 3 years in the Army. Here it is 10 years later and i still use Tabasco almost every meal of the day for my breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. One you get hooked, you can't stop.
Thank you for your service, my dad served 22 years in the army retired sergeant first class

@@wag1bredrinwag1 sometimes stupid ppl like you don’t know when it’s best to keep quiet
Using it as we speak. I used it daily on the 278 cutter I was on out of key west, the gallery FS cooks were so bad Tabasco saved our crew 😂
my mother used it when i was a kid, it was and is undeniably the same as it was 30-40 years ago. The logo, the bottle, the brand is something I always need, like salt and pepper. I pour Tabasco into almost everything. I also always have all the different flavors of Tabasco at home. The original is still the best. Yes, and my daughter (19) was the first to set up the Tabasco bottles in the empty kitchen of her new household and said "now it feels like home"💗🤭 generation to generation.. Tabasco is a fixed star, something that doesn't change in our fast-moving times. And I love this company for preserving history. Because it is also part of our family kitchen history...
its sauce
Your crappy story is a fixed star 👍
Fixture?
I wash my eyes out with it on a daily basis, it's great!
God, some really sad miserable people in this world. This is a great story by someone who can actually articulate without spouting off pathetic 5 word sentences that bring absolutely nothing to the table
ngl, using a bridge when filling from one barrel to another is a pretty smart idea to prevent spills.
That's what i was thinking lmao. Who thinks of that
@@pyahydrn8013 Hold up we’ve got a cool guy over here, behold
Why didn't I think of that? I saw it and that's what I thought about the rest of the video.
@@deltazip dude we have a tomato paste factory
I should know 😬
The bridge is cool but it wasn’t born so much to prevent spills, but to make the process more efficient. If there were a valve at the end of the hose that the filler (employee) had to shut off, move to an empty barrel, turn on, fill barrel, repeat 100 times. It would not only take ~10% longer, he would also have to shut off the pump each time or have an accumulator (pressure) tank at the source, he would have extra bulk (and weight) at the end of the hose making the job harder AND he would likely end up with carpal tunnel syndrome!
I like how the interviewer was actually invested and interested in the process rather than some boring newscaster interviewer and that’s really cool.
@Kali Southpaw All those assumptions based solely on his voice? You need help dude.
Callum Darby what assumptions
@@callumdarby8801 I don't see one assumption in their comment, an opinion sure
@@jakesnussbuster3565 A definition of "assumption" : a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.
The guys comment : I will give him credit for at least doing a decent job of reporting the Tabasco story without injecting any politics or PC garbage. He gets points for that.
The assumption is that the "feminized Soyboy" wouldn't be able to get through his report without "injecting any politics or PC garbage." The commenter was so impressed that he awarded imaginary points to the reporter for lack of pc garbage and politics.
And I assume you're ignoring the overt assumption in the first sentence. Calling someone a soyboy based on their voice alone is a massive assumption, is it not? Maybe we're using different definitions of soyboy, can you tell me yours?
@@callumdarby8801 ya you maybe got one there. But your comment is "all these assumptions"
Yeah, I gotta say at 59 yrs old their Tabasco sauce is always consistent.
Not many other things maintain like that.
Thanks for that, and please keep it up!
Literally can’t eat scrambled eggs without it! I read the bottle and it said oak barrels and I’m like I gotta see that, they weren’t kidding, love that dedication to tradition!
“If I come to your house and you don’t have Tabasco brand pepper sauce, it’s gonna be a quick visit.” That’s a man I respect.

Wesley I do the same. When my fav breakfast spot stopped stocking it I brought my own bottle. It recently ran out... the wait staff bought me a new bottle. Been using it over 30 years.

I love how this seems to be a true family business. There is no highly polished stainless steel tanks in a sterile environment where people that work there for more then 2 years get depressed and want to commit suicide. This is an actual workplace, with real people creating a real product.
My appreciation for Tabasco sauce just increased quite a bit.
Eh. Im a fan of polished stainless steel for food contact processes. Always been a "use little plastic as possible." for the longest time. Nevertheless you cant get past that homey vibe they got
What do they do with all the seeds when they strain the sauce?
Nothing wrong with stainless steel tho😅
@@francesvandenbergh3118 they use the seeds for other pepper products tabasco makes, they have a huge line of products now.
If tobasco is too spicy you can actually drink it with your Butt. It will be a more mild flavor on the tongue instead of just eating. It.
Every month when I fast I just drink coffee and tobasco with my butt. And you don’t need a funnel for the tobasco either.
I’m from the U.K and live in Wales, I have found out recently on ancestry DNA on my fathers mother side of the family which are Irish that I’m distance relatives of the McIlhenny family the made this Tabasco and also invented the gas meters, it’s been an interesting journey looking up all of this.
I’m 31 and I’ve never been a fan of hot sauce but often like things with Tabasco in it so I just purchased my first bottle. It hasn’t left my dining table since it entered my home. Thank you for using glass instead of plastic for the bottle and for making such a great product.
But did you analyze the energy needed to make the glass bottles, or the energy needed to haul all the pepper mash, or the energy needed to keep this place running day in and day out? Also even paper costs far more emissions to make than plastic and let's not forget even more trees.
@@LosianOne Nobody is going to think that when they are enjoying their food with some damn good hot sauce.
@@Zombie2snipe53 "thank you for using glass instead of plastic" I'm not thinking people just eating hot sauce normally I'm speaking of this specific comment.
@@LosianOne not gonna lie I totally misread your comment entirely but yes glass>plastic

The host was fantastic, good questions, no awkwardness either.
The awkwardness is all on the cutting room floor!
Who cares
@Dolphin Beta everyone but you
@@jrvv9806 I care!
... but I just want to show my commitment to the brand 😂
That moment was kinda awkward
It also ages well in the bottle. I always have 5-6 bottles in the pantry. After a couple of years it turns brown and is even more delish!
Really 🤔interesting. What is the flavour like?
I imagine a bit more mellow and complex. They sell a version that's aged for 5 or 6 years called Reserve, I believe.
Man Tabasco is one of my most beloved flavors. And truly only 3 ingredient. It’s wild how amazing it taste. I can literally just drink it by itself 😂

Thats what she said....
I have watched this video multiple times. I absolutely LOVE Tabasco. There is nothing like it. And this company makes me happy. I have a business that will die with me. I am amazed at how they have kept this all going, and not messed it up like so man other families have done. I am so impressed by this whole story, and family and brand. Go Tabasco!
cool things about Avery Island, LA: the island itself is a salt dome; it serves as a bird sanctuary, especially for egrets; and finally, some very fun and unique plant life thrives there
I assume then the salt they use on the barrels is the rock salt found under the island?
Used to be until they closed the salt mine.
You gotta love that man in the vinegar department, you can tell he really likes his job

I love Tabasco sauce, and have been using it on pasta and lasagna since I was a small child. It’s fantastic. Not many people in Australia like Tabasco sauce but I bloody do! 🇦🇺 🇺🇸
I'm a fan of hot sauces, and always have at least 3 or 4 different brands/types on hand. But the one I always have is Tabasco, in the big bottle. I've been using it for about 55 years now, and it's amazing how consistent it is. Their aging process just gives it that unique flavor. What's funny is that just a few hours ago, I was staring at my new bottle of Tabasco, and musing over how it's produced. Then this showed up in my algorithm.
Isn’t it funny how these machines recommend us videos?
Fun fact I learned from another video about Tabasco. The barrels are actually taken from Jack Daniels after they used them for whiskey. Kinda surprised this wasn’t mentioned here.
I was thinking of Jack Daniels the whole video. That's cool.
Seriously bro alcohol is haram for a Muslim guy

This clip makes me appreciate and respect Tabasco even more. Living in world of manipulation and deceit, it is comfortable to find out that there are still companies operating that work and stick to their old traditions and recipes. I am using Tabasco since the early 70's, and I feel even better now after watching this impressive and informative clip.
Sadly they don’t tell you why they move most their farms to second/third world countries, can really only pray it’s nothing bad.
Original Tabasco is the one & ONLY hot sauce I use!🌶️🔥
Couldn't agree more!! The brother running sauceville was priceless. You won't Fn see that on CNN
@@pcgamer0106 i know there was a lot of barrels aging already but I imagine they have the other countries growing their crops for the demand. Possibly
@@pcgamer0106 it would be surely for demand
Huge in Japan too. I remember seeing how Tabasco made their sauces decades ago, and that actually kept me as a customer:
3 ingredients, last a long long time, adds to a dish without overpowering it, very portable, naturally aged....there's little not to like, and I find this stuff way better than competing brands like Red Rooster and Crystal.
I’m from Italy, I’m half southern Italian and we put tradition and respect over our spicy and hot flavoured food, but man in my fridge next to the home prepped hot sauce, the nduja and other Italian spices there is almost always a bottle of Tabasco, since when I go to the supermarket it’s literally 90% of the times the only foreign spicy sauce in our italian supermarkets
I’m gonna start buying my Tabasco instead of stealing it from chipotle after watching this video
Let's make our own???
Tabasco sauce is nasty anyways
DARELL how dare you

Well done Tabasco saves another young man from a life of crime good stuff
Been to the Island. The tours are fun. And the Gardens are gorgeous. He was not just a hot sauce creator, he was a botanist and created some lovely gardens.
He also had a nutria farm and holds the world record for largest alligator at 19ft. He was a very interesting man. And I've been to the factory, the smell is heavenly
I craved it after covid. I like to drink it straight, I know that sounds a bit odd but I love the taste of vinegar and chilli and drink it from a small sherry glass. I will drink half bottle in one go. Capsium in it is very good for you.
I got quite emotional watching this! Love, love, love the tradition - the care and the attention. Everyone 's been there ages and knows their job... beautiful. For what it's worth, there is no comparison between Tabasco and any other hot pepper sauce - it is the caviar of condiments! I always buy it, that iconic bottle, the depth of flavour, the spice, the tang, the fruitiness - perfection. Never anything else!
This made me go buy a few bottles of Tabasco because I'm easily influenced by UA-cam videos.
This made me buy a bottling machine.

@@ManjulaBandara ahahahaaha
Take a look at my video which sells a house.
@@chitreshsoni1765 You dont have a video
This makes me appreciate tobasco, knowing it’s still being made by the same family and nothing has changed, they didn’t choose quantity over Quality
Crazy how they use these methods and still make enough for it to seem like it’s everywhere
Tobasco taste good when you mix it with other sauces or condiments. My favorite is with ketchup or bbq.
It seems they managed to accomplish both haha
I was introduced to Tabasco when I was in the Navy while underway. Now I’m a lifelong fan.
Okay this is the most fantastic ad. You walk away from it feeling a love for the product! Tabasco sauce is going to taste different after watching this 😄
I'm disappointed MREs no longer come with mini Tabasco bottles.
WHAT!
Tabasco sells them and you can get them on Amazon.
Tabasco was the main stay for eating C-Rats, i would have at least 10 bottles on deployment. You can have my $$, my gf, my car but don't mess with my Tabasco.
really??? the only thing that got me through hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike!!
Some do. My LT pulled a mini bottle from one a week ago. Wasn't even a very old MRE. Wasn't even expired. I think there might be some limited runs or somethin.
Being a man who laces all his foods with hot sauce, I can tell you that it’s never only about the heat, it’s about flavour and Tabasco’s is tremendous.
Way too vinegary in my opinion, but I can see why people like it. I ate only tabasco my first 18 years of my life, because I didn't know there were other hot sauces. My father always bought tabasco and in shops I always went blindly for tabasco. Now I know better and I like to experiment.
MrZarewna I get what you’re saying. What hot sauces are your favourites? I don’t like the ones that have sweetness to them like Sriracha.
@@Anarcath Sriracha and texas pete are fine, I like those. I'm more into a Finnish brand called poppamies. They make amazing stuff.
Agreed. Simple flavors and a short list of ingredients for the win every time.
MrZarewna I don’t think I’ve ever heard of those brands except Sriracha. Maybe I should try specialty stores.
That coke spoon joke at the end is highly underrated 😂
I thank you for your service!

This is the 5th Dan Does i've watched today and just like the other four videos I'm so amazed at these huge international companies that continue to make millions of units a year in one location with high quality standards. I'll always appreciate this and the other brands in a whole new way.
You're in your 5th dan?
Never thought a Tobasco floor manager will make a coke spoon reference.

Yeah he probably grew up in the 70s as well
I'm from Mexico, and as a mexican, I've been used to taste all kind of hot sauces from organic to processed ingredients and Tabasco was always a good option. Since I remember, Tabasco was an escencial in the pantry of my family.
I lived few years in Argentina, back in the late 90s and very first years of the century and back then it was so hard to find hot sauce in the southern hemisphere. When a bottle of Tabasco popped-up, I just grabbed it like a treasure.
Legendary brand!!!
Hot sauces, although now you can find them in supermarkets in small quantities, continues to be an exception in Argentina, we just don't use spicy things.
Here mayonnaise it's the king.
Cool, I went from a Tabasco kid (only option in the house) to loving many other kinds. From Huy Fong (rooster) sriracha, franks red hot, Valentina, tapatio, Cholula, and so many others and of course any red or green fresh salsa. Now Tabasco sometimes just seems like hot vinegar to me, lacking a deeper flavor and texture of these others.
@@JacobAnawalt I agree, but Tabasco is always a good go to sauce if short on choices. I grew up eating spicy foods since I was a child(born into the US coming from a Central American family, we love spicyness). Still love spicy foods or making food spicy with my favorite sauces or peppers.
it has such a strong vinegar taste its rarely the best option and nearly unusable on any slightly larger quantities but few drops never hurt
@@fish3977 I agree, the vinegar flavor is excessive. The sauce is ok but rarely ever the best option.
I feel I can speak for all pacific islanders when I say Tabasco is staple condiment in our homes and Restaurants across the Pacific. We love the flavor and spice it brings and the only other hot sauce that competes to it but only by a fraction is Sriracha.
haha yep, hello from the marianas of guam
My best bud is from Yigo. Can confirm his love of Tabasco. Even makes musubi with Tabasco Spam!
Now do yourself a favour and try Tabasco’s take on Sriracha sauce. You will not be disappointed!
I think my letter to McIlhenny company decades ago, pleading with them to put little bottles of Tabasco sauce into C-Rats is why they are in MRE's today. I wrote them and gave them some of my own field recipes, and they sent me back a really nice cookbook, chef apron, hat, and a whole bunch of hot sauce. 3 years later, I opened an MRE (transition from c-rats) and boom. There was a little bottle of Tabasco. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I love Tabasco, most other sauces have other non-natural ingredients, but Tabasco sticks to the 3 ingredients - vinegar, tabasco peppers, and salt. Perfection in a bottle. Thank you for making this video!
why does this make me appreciate Tabasco so much more
that was the aim of the video.
Because it is made with love for the purity?
Because tobasco is something worth appreciating
I’m from Villahermosa, Tabasco, a city in Mexico, so when I was a kid I used to believe that this sauce was originally created here, lol
im 33, from Merida Yucatan, i thought it was made in Villahermosa until today when i watched this LOL
Tabasco brings back a lot of good childhood memories for me. We always have it in our table! Much respect to the people behind the process.

My (ex) brother in law introduced me to Tabasco sauce some 30 years ago and I have been hooked since. A good part of the charm is the knowledge of the ageing process and the family's close involvement in the day to day running. It would have been easy for the family to sell out to some huge food conglomerate like so many other old family businesses. Glad they held on during trying times and kept the good work going. For me, just looking at the bottle on my table is a comfort. I Love you tabasco.
A tip of the hat to the anchor for giving me the insider view without behaving like a know it all. Good work mate.
Its something very comforting about the level of craftsmanship, pride and consistency on display in this video. No big secrets, every step of the process is simple in by itself, but it comes together in a whole only if everyone is staying on their game every day. Nice!
"It smells like go time!"
Everyone is so genuine at this plant, they all seem like someone I wanna go for a beer with

When I was in Vietnam during the LBJ fiasco which killed 58000 men, you could send your address to this wonderful company and they would send you back a round container with a free bottle of their sauce PLUS an illustrated comic book version of recipes where you could mix different ingredients from the C-Rations and create an interesting variation which, naturally required Tabasco sauce.
THANK YOU ALL AT TABASCO !! 👍😃
@Beaye that’s so cool :)
i don't like LBJ, but after you hippies made the usa get out of vietnam almost *100 million* people were killed by the communist in vietnam cambodia and china.

My granddad always had Tabasco sauce on his table, and I always have some on my table too, 50 years later. It's the most American condiment you'll ever taste!

@@mrdeurknopp Louisiana is hot 87-95F in the summer on top of 80%+ Humidity. It isn't a time that I would suggest going outside during the middle of the day, especially for a long walk through vegetation if you're not used to it. Spring also has most of the flowering plants in bloom which makes it beautiful (if you're not allergic to pollen, mold, etc.)
kyrorayne I can’t even imagine the mosquitos
Chance Spicer they only rise when the moon does

I just discovered the smoked chipotle tabasco & it has changed everything. 😂 Breakfast burritos have never been better.
This was SO refreshing to watch. To learn about a product I love WITHOUT all the stupid secrecy that typically ruins videos like these. I feel like I was really learning how it was made and it was exciting. Great products should be shared AND legally protected.
The host is naturally funny and interested.
I really like him
Mark Molenaar copying a popular comment to get likes lol
Ok go fuvk yourself
Great host, unlike the scrawny junkies Vice gets for their crap, they look like their daily diet is 5 syringes of heroin, a line of coke and a copy of SJW daily.
"If I come to your house and you don't have Tabasco brand pepper sauce, it's going to be a quick visit"
If you come to my house... You ll probably find the peppers, not that soft sauce.
Pablo Duarte I dont think peppers go very well with my bag of barbecue chips
G Hernandez i use a bunch of valentina cuz making a bunch of homemade takes a while
@G Hernandez any homemade hot sauce, PERIOD is better than any store purchased sauce
Evan if your host is Margot Robbie?? Lol
I love watching this video so much. I love Tabasco sauce so much. It makes me so happy to know about the hard work put into such a delicious treat to any meal!
I would happily give up my job as a landscaper at $15/hr 6:30am-7:30pm to be able to work in The Tabasco production factory on Avery island or even picking the peppers! Goodness. I’d do anything to be a part of this amazing process. I love Tabasco!!!
This whole video is just so wholesome
Wow! I’m so impressed with the amount of time that is put into that little bottle. What is more impressive is the cost is so reasonable.
Yeah it's crazy, all that work plus the handling and shipping and the profit the shop makes and it's still only like 3 euro
Tinyflav I actually appreciate this company a lot more after seeing this
The answer is mass production
In india it's 2 euro
Reasonable for what it is...but not very competitive compared to most “Louisiana” sauces like franks, Louisianan etc. Still no comparison though imo, so worth the higher cost. We use Tabasco typically for cooking and marinades...while thicker sauces like franks or Texas Pete is good for things like buffalo wings and dipping.
I wish Tabasco would offer a less diluted version of their sauce. I'd love to buy of bottle of straight three year old mash and I'd be willing to pay a lot for it.
@tobasco Get on this.
Give them a call, they might send you some...
Ok yoda
fleetlordavtar you have no taste
put the tabasco in container after a day most of the vinegar set on the bottom,the top portion is what you like,
I notice we would be getting the same sauce this year which was fermented while shooting this video
Word.
I'm from Germany and I've been using Tabasco for many years now. One of my favorite sauces.

this needs to go on top of the comment section!
Bruh
I see no lies
lmao im dying
Cool video. Nice work guys.
Love ur vids
Top guy sonny
*Here to research how to beat Mark, huh?* 🤣
poopoogamer123 why would you go ahead and assume that? Is videos are actually very entertaining, especially for people who like looking into exotic/Extreme foods from different countries

Two bottles in our house at all times. One for the table, one as backup!
Great and informative video! Very entertaining and educational. I love the tradition and quality of Tabasco products. And, I love the fact that the McIlhenny family has kept control of the business, even though it's obvious that they've received lucrative buy-out offers from the big, publicly-traded food giants over the years (e.g., Kraft-Heinz; Nestle; etc).
It's important to note that the barrels used by Tabasco are reused whiskey barrels.
Gil Ramos why would that be important?
Sipho Ndhlovu because there's a ton of bourbon that leeches into the hot sauce while aging.
Sipho Ndhlovu ever heard of barrel wash???
Its to get that flavor 😊
So tobasco is haram?
A company usually dies when the passionate founders are bought out and cost-cutting measures are put into place. Too many people in the business world are worried about quarterly sales and profit margins and not enough about consistency and customer loyalty.
Congratulations, you just discovered the contradiction between exchange-value and use-value!
Witness our cadburys chocolate company, since the takeover by mondelez the quality and quantity has nosedived.
U just have to find the balance between profit and consistent
We call people who only care about the bottom-line bean counters. Theyre essential to a business, but if a bean counter becomes CEO it can be devastating to product quality
As a Portuguese my piri piri would not be the same without Tabasco. We love you.
Tabasco kicks ass! Its one of a few hot sauces that has carried on the tradition from old and not changed from its roots. Thats why its still around and will remain around for yrs to come! Theres something to be said about these cos that stick to the basics and continue to pump out a quality product. Kudos to Tabasco for remaining true to what got ya here and hoping you stick to the basics for centuries to come!!!😎👍👍
if this was taken over by a corporation they would cheap out on the materials, use artificial flavouring, just for more profit,shareholders and destroy Tabasco's brand
sleepup7931 of course for the media they gonna try claim genuine 🙄don’t be so naive , profit always come first for any company
@@deangeldhof2229 of course that is true, that profit is the main reason a company is made but not at the expense of killing the golden goose
they save the most money by sourcing there crops and main labour in africa and south america lol.
Earth Dream Motorsports they literally said they do most of the growing in Latin America and small parts of Africa so it isn’t a secret
@@fc1jp444 and your point? if they are getting a fair wage for over there then what is the problem?
Lmao the guy was like nah don’t wear the spoon in New Orleans they’ll arrest you when they think it’s a coke spoon
That was an LOL moment, for sure.
busted out laughing when he said that😂😂😂
Funny
@Mister Brookes Dura lex sed lex but you should really be blaming for profit prisons
Torin Jones blame ZOG
The embracing of tradition is wonderful. Fantastic content.
very interesting to watch and know how its made.i use it for many years and love it. thank you !
