Who owns Cholula?
Cholula is based on a 100-year-old family recipe that has been passed down through generations. Crafted in Mexico, Cholula’s balanced and approachable flavor, and signature wooden cap have made it a beloved staple all around the world. Cholula is licensed by Jose Cuervo but was founded by the Harrison family, originally of Chapala, Jalisco. Prior to its acquisition, Cholula was produced for three generations in Chapala and used primarily as an ingredient in sangria.
Cholula’s signature wooden cap is a distinctive seal of quality and authenticity. It symbolizes the care and craftsmanship that go into every bottle of Cholula. Sustainably sourced, these caps are fashioned from beechwood and celebrate the tradition of Mexican artisanship.
The color of the wooden cap is specifically matched to correlate with each flavor making it a memento long after the sauce is gone. As of 2019, The Cholula Food Company announced they would be moving their headquarters from New York City to Stamford, Connecticut. The sale of the brand from L Catterton to McCormick & Company was announced on November 24, 2020, and completed six days later on November 30.
