There is something about the combination of sweetness and heat that makes a familiar meal suddenly more interesting. A drizzle of hot honey can take pizza, fried chicken, biscuits, barbecue, or a breakfast sandwich in a completely different direction without requiring a complicated recipe.
Lady Bug Honey has built its Heat Series around that simple idea: start with smooth honey flavor, add the right level of heat, and give people an easy way to bring more personality to everyday food. The Sacramento-based brand currently offers three Heat Series options—Gentle, Mild, and X-HOT—so shoppers can choose the level that fits the way they like to eat.
But if you are new to hot honey, choosing a bottle is not always as straightforward as it sounds. How much heat do you actually want? What foods work best with it? And is a hotter option automatically better?
