Product details
The espresso and lavender rub imparts notes of butterscotch and caramel, which are prevalent near the rind, but find their way to the center of the cheese. This is a full-bodied cheese with a nutty flavor and smooth texture.
Hours after it’s made, the special grind is rubbed on the rind. The 20-pound wheel ages for 6-8 months. As it ages, cheesemakers test each batch to determine the right time to introduce the wheel into the world. And once it arrives on your doorstep, get ready for an adventure in pairing! Winner of 20 major awards. Not certified organic.
About the producer
Beehive Cheese, renowned for its innovative approach to artisanal cheddar, began in 2005 with a commitment to high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Initially crafted by two best friends with minimal cheesemaking experience, the company quickly distinguished itself with the creation of Barely Buzzed, a cheddar infused with coffee and lavender. This unique rubbed-rind cheese gained national acclaim, winning multiple awards and driving a significant shift in the cheese industry towards flavored and rubbed-rind varieties.
The company has maintained its dedication to quality and sustainability, exemplified by its recent B Corp Certification, which underscores its commitment to ethical practices and community respect. In 2024, Beehive Cheese expanded its operations by relocating production to Gossner Foods' Heyburn, ID facility, while continuing to age and finish cheeses in Utah. This strategic move allows the company to scale production while preserving its artisanal craftsmanship and core values.
