FAQ

What is Hot Sap?

Hot Sap is a chili-infused Vermont maple syrup built for cooking and finishing. It adds rich maple flavor and layered heat to pizza, crispy chicken, roasted vegetables, cheese boards, cocktails, and more.

How spicy is it?

Hot Sap has a noticeable kick on its own, but when paired with food the heat becomes much more balanced and approachable. It is designed to complement rather than overpower, adding warmth and depth to each bite. And because the heat is easy to layer, the more Hot Sap you use, the more kick you get.

How do I use it?

Drizzle it over pizza, crispy chicken, roasted vegetables, eggs, and cheese. Brush it onto salmon, chicken, or ribs. Mix it into cocktails, dressings, and marinades.

Is it only for pancakes?

Definitely not. Hot Sap was created for savory cooking and finishing, though it is also delicious in cocktails and desserts.

Does it need to be refrigerated?

Hot Sap is shelf stable before opening. Refrigerate after opening.

Is this similar to hot honey?

Hot Sap plays a similar role, but uses pure Vermont maple syrup instead of honey. Maple syrup brings deeper flavor and a distinctive sweet heat that works beautifully in both savory and sweet applications.
