The
story of Lea & Perrins® popular Worcestershire Sauce begins in the early
1800s, in the county of Worcester. Returning home from his travels in Bengal,
Lord Sandys, a nobleman was eager to duplicate a recipe he'd acquired. On Lord
Sandys' request, two chemists, John Lea and William Perrins, made the first
batch of the sauce.
Lea
and Perrins were not impressed with their initial results. The pair found the
taste to be unpalatable, and left the jars in their cellar to collect dust. Years
later, they stumbled across them and decided to taste the contents again. To
their delight, the aging process had turned it into a delicious, savory sauce.
Soon
Mr. Lea and Mr. Perrins began bottling their special blend of vinegars and
seasonings. Without any kind of advertising, in few short years, it was known
and coveted in kitchens throughout Europe.
1839,
John Duncan, a New York entrepreneur, ordered a small quantity of Lea &
Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. In a few short years Duncan was importing large
shipments to keep up with demand. Lea & Perrins was the only commercially
bottled condiment in the U.S., and Americans loved it right away. Almost 170
years later, Lea & Perrins sauce remains a favorite in households across
the U.S.
