Louisiana Hot Sauce: the first pepper sauce to be called Louisiana — since 1928 in New Iberia!

In 1928, a family in New Iberia, Louisiana, made a homemade hot sauce in their kitchen and sold it to neighbours. A few years later, Bruce Foods turned it into a national brand — and the first to use the name "Louisiana" for a hot sauce. Over 95 years of unchanged recipe, still made in New Iberia, found in 75% of American supermarkets. Historic slogan: "Not too hot, not too mild." My American Market imports it straight for you!

Did you know Louisiana Hot Sauce has been rivalling Tabasco since the very beginning?

The history of Louisiana hot sauces is a story of rivalries. Tabasco (1868), Trappey's (1898), Crystal (1923), Louisiana Hot Sauce (1928) — all born within 100 miles of each other in Louisiana. Louisiana Hot Sauce's specificity? It uses long cayenne peppers aged for a minimum of one year before processing — a technique that develops a deeper, fruitier flavour. Its formula is beautifully simple: aged cayenne peppers, distilled vinegar, salt. Nothing else.

The result? A hot sauce with a unique profile: lighter in heat than Tabasco or Crystal, but with more vinegar character and a frank, direct acidity. This is the hot sauce you pour generously — not the one you dose carefully. Americans call it "the working man's hot sauce."
