Honey is obviously associated with an intense sweetness that is perfect for use in a wide range of recipes, but the new Rowse Honey Fusion products are being launched by the Valeo Foods-owned brand to offer consumers a savory option to try out.
The honeys come in two options including Chilli Fusion and Smokey Fusion, which are both characterized by their complex flavors achieved with chilies and more. The products are available now at Waitrose and Sainsbury's locations for £3.50 in the UK.
Marketing Director at Valeo Foods Kirstie Jamieson commented on the new Rowse Honey Fusion products saying, "The launch of Rowse Fusion is our first foray into savoury flavours and is informed by our consumer and market research. It unlocks and highlights a range of new cooking possibilities from stir-frys to glazing seasonal vegetables, but also brings dishes a natural sweetness without the prejudice of added sugar, giving consumers control they need to lean towards a balanced diet. The Fusion range allows us to introduce Rowse honey to a whole new audience, in particular, younger people interested in cooking and exciting new recipes."
