We Made the News????
If you've ever wondered what it looks like when a chili crisp operation gets a TV crew in the kitchen — it looks a lot like a normal Tuesday, just with better lighting.
WLOS came out to film us for Episode 4 of Welcome to Ventureville, the Carolina Spotlight series following the businesses in the Optimist Ventures cohort. The episode is up now, and yes, it's called "Turning Up The Heat." We didn't pick the title, but we're not mad about it.
The short version: Spice Witch is one of the businesses Optimist Ventures selected for $50,000 in founder-friendly funding, plus mentorship and actual hands-on support. It's a venture-philanthropy program run through Venture Asheville and the Economic Development Coalition for Asheville-Buncombe County, built to back Western North Carolina businesses rebuilding after Helene.
We make small-batch chili crisp, chili oil, and hot honey in a commercial kitchen in Arden. Everything is made with avocado oil — no seed oils, no shortcuts, no giant vat somewhere in another state. It's still us, still by hand, still in small batches.
Getting picked for this cohort means we can do more of it. More production, more shelves, more of the thing you keep telling us you put on everything.
Watch the segment above, and if you're new here from WLOS — welcome.
Start with the chili crisp.

Real honey with a slow, building chili burn — bold, sticky, and built for the squeeze. The heat shows up after the sweet. A smooth, pourable honey in a squeeze bottle made for the table, not the back of the pantry.
Sweet heat, made to drizzle
This isn't your average chili honey. Spice Witch Hot Honey is real honey with a slow, building chili burn — bold, sticky, and built for the squeeze. The heat shows up after the sweet, so it works on everything from breakfast to a cheese board. This is a smooth, pourable hot honey sauce in a squeeze bottle, made for the table, not the back of the pantry.
What makes it different
Most hot honey is honey and chili, sometimes vinegar. Ours is built like our chili oil: a ground blend of chili flakes, coriander, fennel, black pepper, and garlic, infused right into real honey. You get the sweet first, then a slow heat with something savory underneath. Made in small batches in Asheville, NC.
