Short answer. TABASCO says its pepper sauce is made on Avery Island, Louisiana. That is where it is made, not a claim about where every pepper grows.

Caveat
Where the sauce is made is not the same as where every pepper is grown; we do not claim all peppers are grown in Louisiana. We could not confirm a current gift-set price.
Price
Price not confirmed; check TABASCO’s shop or a grocery store. Prices change; confirm before you buy.
Why it makes a good gift
A stocking stuffer everybody recognizes; gift sets make it a host gift.
