FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Expo West debut showcases custom formulations, flexible packaging, and True Source Certified supply for private label partners.
Eugene, Oregon – 2.24.2026 – GloryBee (www.glorybee.com), announces the launch of its new GloryBee HOT HONEY with smoky chipotle at Natural Products Expo West Exhibit Hall March 4–6 at the Anaheim Convention Center, Hall C, Booth #2598 D. Hot honey may be having a moment, however GloryBee has been crafting it for nearly two decades.
The company began infusing honey naturally in 1986 and introduced its first hot honey in 2008. The new Hot Honey with Smoky Chipotle variety builds on that experience, blending clean heat with deep, smoky notes for a layered flavor profile that works across retail, foodservice, and food manufacturing applications.
“This isn’t a trend play for us,” said Grace Colton, Chief Financial Officer-COO at GloryBee. “We’ve spent decades refining how to infuse honey the right way. Smoky chipotle adds depth and balance. It’s bold but approachable, and it reflects the kind of custom flavor work we do every day for our private label partners
