Lea & Perrins
Title
Description
1837-present
After attempting to replicate an Indian recipe, John Wheeley Lea and William Perrins introduced their Worcestershire sauce around 1837. The sauce was sold internationally by 1870, allowing for American manufacture of the sauce. The American magazine Collier’s advertised the sauce for “good housewives” and “all leading chefs and cooks” (see 1911 ad below). Lea & Perrins remains in production today.
