Why Choose Infused Raw Hot Honey?

Infused hot honey is a versatile condiment that can add depth and excitement to your charcuterie board. Our Kita B’s Chipotle Infused Honey and Kita B’s Jalapeno Infused Honey are perfect for those looking to explore unique flavor combinations. These gourmet honeys are not only delicious but also health-conscious, made from raw honey varieties and artisan infusions that enhance any dish.




To create the ultimate romantic charcuterie board, you’ll need a selection of items that complement our honey infusions. Here’s what to include:


  • Cheese: Opt for creamy brie, sharp cheddar, and tangy goat cheese. Honey pairs beautifully with cheese, making it a must-have for your board.

  • Cured Meats: Prosciutto, salami, and chorizo add a savory touch. The sweetness of our hot honey drizzle contrasts wonderfully with the saltiness of the meats.

  • Fruits: Fresh figs, strawberries, and apple slices provide a refreshing balance. Drizzle some spicy honey over the fruits for an unexpected twist.

  • Nuts: Choose a mix of almonds and walnuts for crunch. Pairing nuts with honey creates a satisfying texture.

  • Crackers and Bread: A variety of artisanal crackers and crusty bread will make excellent vehicles for your toppings.
