In south Louisiana, there is a place named Avery
Island. It is an area with a unique history. The
island is known for it’s
production
of Tabasco Hot
Sauce. The Mclhenny family has
produced
this
product
since 1868. The Mclhenny Family and workers are the
producers
of Tabasco.
Tabasco is made with hot peppers and sold to
consumers
daily.
Consumers
are the people who buy
the Tabasco
product.
The hot peppers are grown until their color is
bright red. The pickers use a red stick to make sure
the color is perfect for picking. To have a
successful
product,
the
workers
know how important
it is to get the recipe right.
After the third year, the mash is ground into a
pepper sauce and is ready for the
production line.
Then the
product
is ready to be
processed and
bottled.
The
producers
then take the Tabasco mash and it is sent to the
factory to be placed in bottles and packaged. After
the
packaging
takes place, the bottles are sent to
consumers
around the world.
Tabasco is an international
product
which is
sold
in many different countries in the world.
Consumers
around the globe
buy
Tabasco Sauce and other
products.
