Trappey's: the brand that dared to copy Tabasco since 1898 — lost the lawsuit but survived!

In 1898 in New Iberia, Louisiana, B.F. Trappey was a former McIlhenny Company employee — the Tabasco makers. He left with pepper seeds from Avery Island (according to legend) and founded B.F. Trappey and Sons. His sauce? He called it "Tabasco" too. The McIlhenny family trademarked the name in 1906 and years of legal battles ensued. In 1929, the McIlhennys definitively won the lawsuit. Trappey had to change names. But the brand survived, evolved — and today offers a unique range with flavours you won't find in competitors. My American Market imports it straight for you!

Trappey's Indi-Pep West Indian Style Pepper Sauce — the most exotic! A Caribbean/West Indian-style sauce — tropical fruits, island peppers, gentle spices and more intense heat.
