New Solar Grown™ Hot Honey with Cobanero Chili Kicks Up the Heat Just in Time for Summer
St. Helena, California – July 12th, 2021 – Clif Family is building on the popularity of their Solar Grown™ Raw Honey and creamy Honey Spreads with a new hot honey made with Burlap & Barrel’s single origin Cobanero Chili spice.
“Clif Family’s Solar Grown honey products help our critical pollinators by supporting the creation of pollinator friendly habitat among solar arrays, said Linzi Gay, Clif Family’s General Manager. “We are thrilled to be adding our Hot Honey with Cobanero Chili to our Solar Grown product lineup, contributing to the Solar Grown movement as solar energy continues to rapidly develop across the United States.”
Populations of pollinators and other beneficial insects are in widespread decline and a leading cause is habitat loss. Science-based state standards establish what constitutes “pollinator-friendly” for ground cover on the working landscape of a solar farm—typically a diverse mix of low-growing flowering plants instead of bare ground or turf-type grasses. The Solar Grown trademark indicates that a product was produced on or adjacent to a solar farm that meets pollinator-friendly solar vegetation standards.
Clif Family’s sister company, Clif Bar & Company, built a 5-acre pollinator-friendly solar farm to not only provide energy for their bakery in Twin Falls, Idaho, but also to provide habitat for local pollinators. Clif Bar & Company is also an investor in other pollinator-friendly solar projects. The hope is that these pollinator-friendly, pesticide-free habitats will create a positive difference in the long-run for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while providing the benefits of delicious, sustainable products.
The Cobanero Chili is a rare Mayan variety of chili pepper, grown in the mountains around the city of Coban, Guatemala. Its lush, fruity aroma and fierce, smoky heat create a punch of flavor that makes Clif Family’s Hot Honey perfect for serving with Fried Chicken, drizzling on buttermilk biscuits or roasted carrots or adding to a cheese plate.
The Clif Family Solar Grown Hot Honey with Cobanero Chili is available in a 5.5 oz jar for a suggested retail price of $10.00. The three Solar Grown Honey Spreads are individually available in 5.5 oz. jars for a suggested retail price of $10.00. The Solar Grown Raw Honey is available in a 12 oz jar for a suggested retail price of $15.00. They can be found online at https://www.cliffamily.com/.
