The rising demand for "swicy" flavors led to the creation of Local Hive Honey Hot Sauces, an expansive line of hot honey products catering to all heat tolerance levels and delighting consumers with a perfect blend of sweetness and fiery flavors. "Within the fast-growing hot sauce category, we found there was a demand for options that offered a sweeter taste profile," said Cale Nelson, Chief Commercial Officer of Local Hive.
The lineup exclusively uses honey sourced from American beekeepers as the primary ingredient, followed by spicy peppers, tangy white distilled vinegar, and savory garlic and onion powder. The Local Hive Honey Hot Sauces lineup includes medium-spicy sauces like Hatch Chile with Southwest Honey and Chipotle with Texas Honey, as well as hot Sriracha and Habanero.
Local Hive Honey Hot Sauces are ready to enhance everything from scrambled eggs and snackable dips to sandwiches and pizza.
