Louise Bees Hot Habanero Honey is raw honey from West Country Bees, infused with habanero chilli, made by Louise Bees just up the road from us in Rode, Somerset. Unlike most hot honeys built on a cheap, blended base, this one starts from raw, unpasteurised honey that's only ever lightly filtered, so the pollen, enzymes and natural character of the honey are still there before the habanero even gets a look in. The heat builds slowly: honey sweetness first, then the fruity warmth of habanero, with the chilli heat arriving last.

Drizzle it over a wedge of hard cheese or a warm slice of cornbread, stir a spoonful into a marinade for chicken thighs, or finish a pizza margherita with it straight from the jar. It's particularly good with anything creamy or salty that needs a lift - goat's cheese on toast, a fried egg, or halloumi hot off the grill - where the honey's sweetness gets to arrive first, before that habanero warmth catches up.

Recipes to try using this ingredient:

  • Pinsa Romana with Calabrian Peperoncini, Fior di Latte, Mushrooms

Why we love it:

  • Made by Louise Bees, a beekeeper based in Rode, right on our doorstep here in Somerset
  • Built on raw, unpasteurised honey from West Country Bees, rather than the blended, heat-treated base most commercial hot honeys start with
  • Only lightly filtered, so the pollen, enzymes and natural character that pasteurisation strips out are still there
  • The heat builds in stages - honey sweetness first, then habanero's fruitiness, with the chilli heat arriving last, rather than hitting all at once

How to use:

  • Drizzle over a wedge of hard cheese for a cheeseboard with a kick
  • Stir a spoonful into a marinade or glaze for grilled chicken or halloumi
  • Finish a pizza, drizzled straight from the jar
  • Spoon over a fried egg or goat's cheese on toast for a sweet-then-hot breakfast or starter
