Pepper Sauce

McIlhenny Co.per sauce is a pungent sauce prepared from select aged red pepper, vinegar and salt. The red peppers are fermented and aged for three years, and then drained to remove excess moisture. This aged pepper mash is blended with vinegar and mixed for 28 days. This Mixture then passes through a series of screens to remove the seeds, producing an orange-red colored sauce with a characteristic fermented pepper note.
