Worcestershire Sauce Wasn’t A Hit At First
Worcestershire sauce is something you could find in any kitchen nowadays. But it almost wasn’t created at all!
Created by the Worcester chemists John Wheeley Lea and William Henry Perrins, Worcestershire sauce came into existence when a nobelman named Lord Sandys wished to recreate something he had tasted while traveling in Bengal.

When Lea & Perrins was first created, it wasn’t to their liking and was set aside and forgotten about. It wasn’t until the barrels were rediscovered many months later that the taste had mellowed into what we know and love as Worcestershire Sauces.
Heinz still allows “mellow time” to this day! It’s blended and bottled in Worcester and left to mature for a whole 18 months. Worcestershire sauce could have never been created if it hadn’t been thought of as a failure initially!
