Artifact Overview

In 1835, chemists John Lea and William Perrins of Worcester, England, came across forgotten jars of sauce in their cellar. The once unsavory sauce, having aged a few years, was surprisingly delicious! Its popularity spread across Europe, and in 1839, businessman John Duncan introduced the sauce to America. Since then, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce has become a seasoning favorite in many recipes.
