Country Range has added a highly versatile and full-flavoured Hot Honey to its packed portfolio in time for summer which can be used across all day parts and menus.
One of the biggest trends of the last 12 months, the new Country Range Hot Honey combines natural sweetness with a gentle chilli heat for a balanced, versatile flavour. It’s free from additives and comes in easy-to-use squeezy 720ml bottles in cases of five.
Bringing the perfect balance of sweet heat to every bite, it can be used throughout the day from crispy waffles to golden halloumi bakes and even for personalising pizzas. It’s ideal for fast-paced environments, a great table condiment and transforms everyday dishes into bold, crave-worthy creations.
Rachel Porter, Country Range Group Own Brand Manager, said:
“As more consumers look to add a touch of spice across all dayparts, hot honey is one of the biggest trends at present and offers a simple way for caterers of all sizes to elevate their menus and introduce something a little different. Our new product has a perfectly balanced swicy flavour and can be utilised in a variety of different dishes whether sweet or savoury. With caterers under increasing time, staff and cost pressures, we believe this could be a fantastic product for operators over the summer months and beyond.”
