Australian honey brand Capilano announced the launch of its new hot sauce ‘Hot Chilli Honey’ made with 100 per cent Aussie honey from local beekeepers spiced up with habanero pepper flakes.
In response to Australians’ love of hot and spicy cuisine, Capilano said its new Hot Chilli Honey does not have preservatives and is ideal for drizzling over a wide variety of foods, including pizza, wings, ribs, and burgers, or giving avocado toast a unique spin.
The company revealed its Hot Chilli Honey blends 100 per cent pure Australian honey from Capilano’s network of over 800 Australian beekeepers with savoury, spicy specks of habanero chilli to create honey suited for use as a condiment.
General Manager for Innovation Fiona Tavian said the company is aware that Australians are constantly seeking novel ways to spice up their meals and value using natural products.
“Chilli honey is the perfect way to add a sweet-savoury spicy kick to their foods, with the average household consuming chilli every ten days and one survey suggesting five million adults enjoy hot sauce once a week,” Tavian noted.
She further said, “What a great way to support Aussie beekeepers by tapping into this huge appetite for Chilli products! Our Hot Chilli Honey is a convenient, versatile and mouth-watering addition to the pantry that we think will be a hit with customers young and old, for home-cooked and takeaway foods.”
According to research, males under 35 and Australians are particularly attracted to a chilli hit, and up to 500,000 individuals incorporate spicy sauces in their diet every day, thus the need for chilli is expected to increase, Capilano said.
“While Capilano has been around for 70 years, we are always looking to innovate and make honey feel new and exciting for cooking and baking,” Tavian stated.
She added, “We are sure Australians are going to love our Hot Chilli Honey.”
Capilano’s $7.50 340g squeeze pack of Hot Chilli Honey is already available at Woolworths and will be available in Coles shops on 2 October.
