About Us:
Mike’s Hot Honey is America’s leading brand of hot honey. Founded in 2010 by Mike Kurtz, the brand was born from a desire to create and share the highest quality honey infused with chili peppers. Mike began drizzling his signature hot honey on pizzas at the Brooklyn pizzeria where he worked, and customers started to ask if they could buy bottles to take home. Mike’s Hot Honey became a word-of- mouth sensation, sparking the creation of a new category of honey. Headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, Mike’s Hot Honey has become a fixture in restaurants and retailers throughout the United States and abroad. Mike’s Hot Honey is a hardworking, entrepreneurial, and family friendly culture. We build great relationships and foster mutuality through fairness and transparency, regardless of whether we’re working side-by-side or remotely. We’re a small team, excited to have more like-minded individuals join this exciting journey.
