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’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.
