Meet The Makers: Dr. Sting’s

Jamie, Ben and their “no bulls**t hot honey” are no strangers to DELLI. Not only have we sold out of every drop they’ve listed, but all guards down, we’re kind of obsessed.

Dr. Sting’s uses no chilli extracts, no added sugar, no stabilisers, and no thickeners. It’s pure and fiery, and the brand is generally full of goodness. The idea came about when Ben was working as a chef in New York, but being a chef meant he had no time to do anything with it. “But then I quit restaurants and went for a pint with Jamie,” he shares, “and we ended up giving it a shot! It’s been good fun!”

Last summer, Jamie started building the brand. He drew a cartoon bee and Dr. Sting’s started to unfurl. All the while, Ben was finetuning the recipe. Ben shares that his girlfriend, Lou, hated the name, and he and Jamie thought to themselves, “Yes, this is perfect then”.
