Frequently asked questions
What makes AR’s Hot Honey different?
AR’s Hot Honey is a premium, clean-ingredient hot honey made with real honey and peppers, no vinegar, no extracts, no corn syrup, and no shortcuts. We started as a hot honey brand from the beginning, not a honey company that added heat later.
What are the ingredients?
Our hot honey is made with just two clean ingredients: real honey and peppers.
Is AR’s Hot Honey very spicy?
It has a balanced sweet heat. You get the flavor of real honey first, followed by a warm pepper finish. It is flavorful, not overpowering.
How do I use hot honey?
Drizzle it on pizza, fried chicken, biscuits, cheese boards, wings, roasted vegetables, cornbread, barbecue, ice cream, or cocktails. It is also great in marinades, glazes, and salad dressings.
Is this locally made?
Yes. AR’s Hot Honey is a Virginia-based brand with Southern roots and produced in the Shenandoah Valley.
Do you offer bundles or gift sets?
Yes. Bundles are a great way to try multiple flavors, stock your pantry, or send as a gift. They are especially popular for holidays, hostess gifts, food lovers, and corporate gifting.
Which flavor should I start with?
If you are new to hot honey, start with our signature hot honey. If you like a deeper pepper flavor, try Chile de Arbol. If you want more heat, Habanero is a great choice.
Is AR’s Hot Honey good for restaurants or chefs?
Yes. Chefs use our hot honey by the gallon for pizza, fried chicken, sandwiches, biscuits, cheese boards, sauces, and glazes. We offer both retail and foodservice sizes.
How long does hot honey last?
Honey has a naturally long shelf life. Store your bottle at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate, refrigeration can cause honey to crystallize.
What if my honey crystallizes?
Crystallization is natural and does not mean the honey has gone bad. Place the bottle in warm water until the honey returns to a smooth consistency. Do not microwave.
Is this a good gift?
Yes. AR’s Hot Honey is a great gift for food lovers, grillers, home cooks, pizza fans, cheese board lovers, and anyone who likes sweet heat.
