RICH CHIPOTLE FLAVOR Sun-Ripened Red Jalapeños Handpicked at Peak of Ripeness Slow-Smoked to Perfection The chipotle pepper has a long history of flavor that dates back to ancient Aztecs, who passed the unique process down through generations. Today we follow the traditional smoking process, letting the peppers slow-dry in "chipotleras" (or pits) over fires fueled by locally harvested pecan wood. We add our own time-honored traditions to create TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce. From there, we pour even more care into crafting this versatile and craveworthy spray dry product that enhances everything from savory seasonings to bold beverages and beyond.
