About Tabanero
Tabanero is a hot sauce and condiment brand founded in 2000 by Carl DeSantis after a trip to Tabasco, Mexico, and is made at the company's own facility in Delray Beach, Florida.
Heritage & History
Tabanero traces its origin to a 2000 trip to Tabasco, Mexico, taken by Carl DeSantis after selling Rexall Sundown. There he encountered bold, balanced heat from habanero peppers grown in Tabasco's fertile soil, and partnered with local farmers to develop a hot sauce recipe built on fresh ingredients rather than vinegar shortcuts. Production began in earnest by 2004, and the company weathered a major regional flood that struck the area just as production was set to start, staying committed to rebuilding efforts alongside the local farming community.
By 2007 the first bottles of Tabanero officially launched, and the brand grew a loyal following over the following years, expanding into BBQ sauces, taco sauces, sriracha, and cocktail mixers by 2010 and 2023. After Carl DeSantis's passing, the company says it continues his legacy of bold flavor and clean ingredients, and today sells nationwide through retailers including Winn-Dixie, Walmart, Meijer, and Target.

Tabanero's hot sauces, BBQ sauces, and related products are bottled and quality-controlled at the company's SQF-certified facility in Delray Beach, Florida. The company states plainly that 'everything is made' there, with 'no outsourcing' of production.
