Tabasco sauce, a fiery and flavorful hot sauce, is a pantry staple for adding a kick to any dish. Its unique blend of aged peppers, vinegar, and salt offers a versatile condiment that can elevate everything from eggs to stews.
Storage Time
Unopened, Tabasco sauce can last indefinitely in the pantry. Once opened, it's best enjoyed within 2-3 years for optimal flavor when stored properly in the refrigerator.
Temperature
Store unopened Tabasco sauce in a cool, dark pantry. After opening, refrigeration is recommended to preserve its vibrant flavor and color, ideally between 4-10°C (40-50°F).
Signs of Spoilage
- Visible mold growth on the surface or around the cap.
- A significant change in aroma, developing a sour or off-putting smell.
- A noticeable alteration in color, such as darkening or cloudiness that wasn't present before.
