Lea And Perrin step by step process
Vital Statistics
The main ingredients involved in the making of our famous Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce (as listed on the bottle) are:
Malt Vinegar, Spirit Vinegar, Molasses, Sugar, Salt, Anchovies, Tamarinds, Shallots or Onions, Garlic, Spices and Flavouring.
The first step is to lightly crush the British onions, French garlic and Danish shallots. These are then stored and aged in barrels of malt vinegar.
Once they are sufficiently matured, they are transferred to huge vats and mixed with Spanish salted anchovies, black tamarinds from Calcutta, red hot chillies from China, cloves from Madagascar and black strap molasses from the Caribbean.
The process of mixing, stirring and pumping continues until the sauce is ready, at which point it is strained and bottled. It takes up to two years to make a bottle of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce.
The full recipe has been kept hidden for over 160 years. Only 3 or 4 people at a time know what that special secret ingredient that gives it that extra kick is. Developed by chemists Mr Lea and Mr Perrins, they passed the knowledge to their two sons. They in turn passed it on to a select few.
Following the Second World War, it was decided that no one person should be aware of the whole secret so it was broken up. They even gave the ingredients code names to secure the secret further!
To this day, that entire recipe is still a mystery.

Just buy some and save yourself the headache - most soy sauce does not have sugar added. It does, however, have sugar as a result of the fermentation process used to make it. But, I checked the bottle of generic soy in my pantry, and it contains corn syrup as the 2nd to last ingredient... True Worcestershire sauce gets a good chunk of it's flavour from molasses. Take that away and you won't have sugar... but you also won't have Worcestershire sauce. Just buy the variety made with molasses instead of brown sugar. I wouldn't bother making it yourself -you'd end up with something else. And... there really isn't a lot of sugar in these products. Certainly none was added directly to them.

It comes from a secret root only found in the little village known as Worcestershire. It's made by the midgets in the small village.
