This is hot honey, but not as you know it. The best hot honey is fermented.

Salt Gang hot honey is raw, alive, and perfectly balanced from a full month of wild lacto fermentation.

We take raw local Australian honey, hot chillies, and garlic, and let time and fermentation do the hard work. Stirred regularly for a month, it develops a medium-hot tangy heat and a bright zing that feels alive on your palate.

Perfect for drizzling on pizza, fried chicken, eggs, roast veg, cheese, and anything that needs a lift. Use it like sweet chilli with spring rolls or cream cheese, or drizzle into dressings and marinades.

TWO HEAT LEVELS
Mild = a gentle kiss of heat, warming rather than hot
Hot = a sharp hot sweet sting

Same tangy fermented goodness. Choose your fighter.

GOOD ALL OVER

Because it’s fermented, it’s also great for the gut! Full of natural probiotics and good bacteria—your tummy and tongue will thank you.

BUILT DIFFERENT

Most chilli honeys are heated chilli infusions or made using extract, leaving you with a harsh sticky heat that lacks depth and balance.

Fermentation gives a lightness, complexity, and umami that transforms spicy honey into a real complex condiment for anything.

Vegetarian. Gluten free.
