After launching an Original Honey Wine Vinegar and a Desert Hibiscus Honey Vinegar, American Vinegar Works developed Hot Honey Wine Vinegar with a rich, complex flavor. Like other honey wine vinegar from the brand, this new addition is prepared by slow-fermenting mead, then blending it with raw honey. The barrel-aged Hot Honey Wine Vinegar boasts a touch of smokey whiskey flavor, as well as satisfying heat from four chilies.
Hot honey is popping up everywhere, and consumers can’t get enough of its irresistible blend of sweet heat, craveable complexity, and versatility across everything from pizza to fried chicken. American Vinegar Works' Hot Honey Wine Vinegar is a flavorful vinegar that's sweet, spicy and sour, and versatile enough to use in everything from dressings and barbecue sauces to cocktails.
