About Mike’s Hot Honey
Mike’s Hot Honey,
America’s original and leading brand of hot honey, has been elevating everyday
eating experiences since 2010. Its first drizzle on a pizza at Paulie Gee’s
in Brooklyn sparked a word-of-mouth sensation, creating a new
category of pizza topping. By popular demand, Mike started selling his
small-batch, hand-labeled hot honey bottles to visitors of the pizzeria and
other local businesses. Today, Mike’s Hot Honey can be found in thousands of
restaurants and retailers across the country. Using only 100% pure honey
infused with real chili peppers, Mike’s Hot Honey’s sweet-then-heat flavor
enhances any dish, from pepperoni pizza to chicken, cheese, charcuterie, ice
cream, cocktails, and more. Mike’s Hot Honey empowers chefs and eaters
everywhere to customize, create, and share extraordinary meals. Happy
drizzling!
