Beehive Cheese
| Promontory by Beehive Cheese is an Irish-style artisan cheddar from Northern Utah, made primarily from pasteurized Jersey cow milk. Produced since 2005, it uses a recipe developed at Utah State University, blending regional terroir with advanced dairy science. The cheese undergoes 6–8 months aging in controlled conditions and uses vegetarian microbial rennet. Promontory is creamy, buttery, and fruity with a close, firm texture. Production shifted in 2024 to a partnership with Gossner Foods for scaling, while affinage remains in Utah. It holds B Corp certification and numerous awards, serving as a base for flavored variations and pairing well with wines, beers, fruits, and charcuterie. | |
