UK honey brand Hilltop is expanding into the condiments aisle with the launch of its new hot honey range, introducing Peri-Peri and Smoky Chipotle varieties.

The new line follows the success of Hilltop’s Original Hot Honey, which, according to the company, became Tesco’s top-performing honey NPD after launching in 2024.

Made with 100% natural ingredients, the new Peri-Peri and Smoky Chipotle Hot Honeys are designed for drizzling over pizza, chicken, tacos or vegetables, combining the brand’s signature natural honey with bold, spicy flavours.

Scott Davies, founder of Hilltop Honey, said: “Customers are looking for bold, adventurous flavour experiences but don’t want to compromise on health. They are looking for clean label, natural products like hot honey, which boasts 100% natural ingredients."

"Our new range taps into both trends, brings excitement to the condiment category, showcases the versatility and natural properties of honey and most importantly, attracts new younger shoppers.”

Hilltop’s Peri-Peri and Smoky Chipotle Hot Honeys will be available exclusively at Tesco stores nationwide from this month, priced at £2.75 for a 350g squeezy bottle.
