By now you have surely heard of Hot Honey.  It is literally everywhere!  It may seem like it appeared overnight, but it can actually be traced to regions where honey and chilli peppers are staples in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.  These regions have long combined sweet and spicy flavours in their cooking. While not always in the exact form of hot honey as we know it today, the concept of balancing sweetness with heat has been woven into these cuisines for centuries.

Where it all started

Our obsession here in the United States can be traced back to 2003 when a college student named Mike Kurtz discovered chili-infused honey in Brazil.  He brought the idea back to the United States, and popularized it on pizza.  He experimented with his own recipes and eventually began working as an apprentice at Paulie Gee’s in Brooklyn.  This is where things really took off.  Customers loved this hot honey  drizzled on a soppressata pizza ( premium, dry-cured Italian salami).  Hot honey became a cult favorite.
