Siracha Factory Tour

One of the things on the summer bucket list this year was to do a factory tour. last year we did an olive factory tour but since it wasnt olive season there wasnt a ton going on and it was less than impressive and it was hard to keep the kids interested so we decided to look into other factories in the area and discovered one of our favorite hot sauces makes theirs right here in
Irwindale.

Walking in to get ready for the tour

 those hair nets are just lovely and trying to keep on on my 2 year old was quite the challenge

 This sauce is a huge favorite in my house

 this machine takes tubes that look like small test tubes and heats them and blows them into the right shape to make the siracha bottle as well as burning the label onto the bottle.

 each batch that is made is tested for quality control these bottles are the ones that were tested at random from each batch.

 My cute little Madison modeling for me :)

 Holding his hands down to try and keep his hairnet on...bwhahahaha that was one funny challenge

 Siracha paste packed in storage barrels...this is the ground chili's without the "sauce" ingridents (salt, water, vinegar etc...)
