PROUD PHOENIX & CO: Hot Honey Crunch (Olive Oil) – 212ml

Sweet heat, golden crunch, gold medal — hot honey done properly

🥇 GOLD — Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards 2026

Gold at the 2026 Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards, and one bite tells you why. Hot Honey Crunch blends premium Australian honey with fiery chillies and a crispy golden crunch, all set in Australian cold-pressed olive oil. Sticky, spicy, savoury — the drizzle that turns a good feed into a "where did you get that?" moment.

The flavour

Honey hits first — floral, glossy and sweet. Then the chilli wakes up mid-palate with a warm, building kick, while the crunchy bits bring toasty, savoury depth. It finishes clean thanks to the olive oil, with that sweet-hot tingle you'll want to chase with another spoonful.

Perfect on

• Fried chicken, wings and chicken tenders
• Pizza — especially pepperoni and salami
• Soft cheese boards: brie, camembert, burrata and halloumi
• Glazed pork belly, ribs and roast pumpkin or sweet potato
• Bacon and egg rolls, pancakes and waffles (trust us)

In the jar

A golden, honey-amber oil with chilli flake and crispy pieces suspended through it. Sticky, glossy and drizzle-ready — stir before spooning. Heat: sweet heat, Hub Heat 3/11.
