Rooted in Virginia.
Honey, peppers, and a Southern approach to bringing people together.
THE SWEET HEATTHE PERSON BEHIND THE POUR
A story of family, a kitchen experiment, and the belief that something good is even better when it’s shared.

IT STARTED WITH A SIMPLE IDEA.
Ames grew up with an Appalachian family tradition: his grandfather would set honeycomb on the table to welcome guests. In 2015, he began experimenting with honey and peppers, making the first bottles as Christmas gifts for family and friends.
That blend became AR’s Hot Southern Honey. The collection now brings together chile-infused honeys, pure Southern honey, sauces, and recipes for home cooks and professional kitchens.
Honey, peppers, and a Southern approach to bringing people together.
A finishing touch or a starting ingredient, from everyday meals to a restaurant menu.
At home, on the shelves, or around a busy kitchen. There’s room at this table.
