Beehive Cheese
| Barely Buzzed is an adjunct-rubbed American artisan cheddar produced exclusively by Beehive Cheese Company in Uintah, Utah, using pasteurized cow's milk from a Holstein-Jersey herd at Wade's Dairy. Aged 6-8 months on Utah Blue Spruce racks, it features a rubbed rind of coffee and lavender that diffuses flavors, creating a butterscotch, caramel, nutty profile with floral and roasted espresso notes. The cheese is smooth, creamy, and semi-firm (~36-39% moisture), made with vegetarian microbial rennet, adhering to rigorous terroir principles. It’s award-winning, safe for lacto-vegetarians, and pairs well with specific wines, beers, charcuterie, and chocolate. | |
