The Hilltop Hot Honey range has been launched by the UK-based honey brand as a series of sweet and spicy (AKA swicy) condiments perfect for elevating the flavor of any recipe or dish.
The products each feature Hilltop Honey as the base ingredient, which has been enhanced with seasoning and spices to give them a spicy taste profile. The products come in two varieties including Smoky Chipotle and Peri-Peri that are arriving as Tesco exclusives this month for £2.75 each per 350-gram bottle. The products are positioned as being great for drizzling over pizza, chicken, roasted vegetables or tacos for a sweet hit of spiciness.
Founder Scott Davies spoke on the Hilltop Hot Honey range saying, "Customers are looking for bold, adventurous flavour experiences but don’t want to compromise on health. They are looking for clean-label, natural products like hot honey, which boasts 100% natural ingredients. Our new range taps into both trends, brings excitement to the condiment category, showcases the versatility and natural properties of honey and most importantly, attracts new younger shoppers.”
