English Origin. Invented by two chemists named John Wheeley Lea and William Henry Perrins in the 1830’s.

Interestingly enough, the Mr. Lea and Mr. Perrins were trying to re-create a taste that a local nobleman by the name of Lord Sandys had acquired, in his travels to Bengal. The initial product wasn’t liked, so they set the barrels aside and forgot all about it till many months later (so the legend goes).  When the barrel was opened it had become the Worcestershire sauce that we now know. To this day the barrels of Worcestershire sauce are aged 18 months before being bottled.
