The Hilltop Hilltoppers are a series of spreadable honey products crafted with the UK market in mind to offer consumers with a way to elevate their toast this springtime. The product starts off with the brand's signature honey that's formulated with 100% natural ingredients and flavors to give it added taste complexity, while also making it easier for consumers to spread onto their toast. The product comes in five varieties including Cocoa Honey, Sweet & Salted, Whipped, Chai Spiced and Pink, which are each arriving at Ocado starting now with Asda slated to start receiving stock in mid-April.
Hilltop Honey Founder Scott Davies spoke on the Hilltop Hilltoppers saying, "We’re on a mission to reignite the category, bring in new consumers and show the versatility of honey. Most honey products talk to traditional buyers but they’re not attracting or recruiting younger shoppers to the category. We did exactly this with Hot Honey, which went down a storm, and now we’re doing the same with Hilltoppers. Hilltoppers, with its interesting flavours and ability to be spread, will be a honey lovers’ perfect partner to their morning toast.”
