About AR's Hot Honey

Most hot honeys rely on vinegar, extracts, or syrups. AR’s Hot Honey keeps it simple: just two ingredients — real honey and real peppers. No vinegar. No pepper extracts. No syrupy additives. The result is a smooth, balanced sweet heat customers drizzle on everything from pizza and fried chicken to biscuits, cheese boards, wings, roasted vegetables, and cocktails. Founded by Virginia food entrepreneur Ames Russell, AR’s Hot Honey is produced in Virginia using a proprietary blend of domestic honeys. The peppers are infused directly into the honey, creating a layered heat and authentic flavor that stands apart from products made with extracts. Hot honey has quickly become one of the fastest-growing condiments in specialty food, and its versatility drives strong repeat purchases. Once customers discover how many foods it pairs with, they come back for another bottle. Chefs and pizzerias love AR’s so much that many purchase it by the gallon, helping fuel growing consumer awareness and demand. With its clean ingredient story, chef credibility, and broad menu appeal, AR’s Hot Honey is an easy product for retailers to sell and customers to love. Perfect for specialty grocery, pizza shops, cheese counters, and gift retailers. Read their story
