The very oldest sauce may be hot sauce, first discovered in what is now Mexico in 7000 BCE, made by Aztecs combining chili peppers with water.
Hot sauce, after the Columbus expedition in 1493, influenced paprika-based dishes in Hungary and traveled through the Silk Road to Europe, revolutionizing cuisine.
Today, that Aztec influence can be seen in sauces like Tabasco and sriracha, which have become staples around the world, showcasing the rich heritage of hot sauce.
