Ships in time for Thanksgiving! Don’t miss these amazing flavors including Espresso Lavender, Sea Salt & Honey, Red Butte Hatch Chile and Apple Walnut Smoked Cheddar.
We are delighted to welcome Beehive Cheese to our Inexpensive Gourmet Insider Deals! With over 170 awards and counting, this family run creamery produces some amazing cheese. And today we have several of their most popular for you to choose from.
Our first pack is the Artisan Duo featuring one 12oz block of the Barely Buzzed Espresso and Lavender Cheddar plus one 12oz block of the Apple Walnut Smoked Cheddar.
The Beehive Barely Buzzed is a seven time winner of Best Flavored Cheddar in America (as well as a Best In Show winner) at the American Cheese Society (ACS) competition. It has also won a ton of other awards (39 in total!) including recent wins at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards (Gold, Best Cheese in USA) and LA Dairy Competition (Gold & Best in Class).
We absolutely adored it and found that pairing it with a nice oaky Cabernet Sauvignon was absolutely divine. This cheese is so unique we just have to share the story:
(Co-founder) Tim Welsh had an idea — coffee and lavender rubbed on cheese. It wasn’t a common combination or technique for flavored cheese, but he thought it might work.
Before moving forward, he ran it by the cheese experts at Utah State University. Their response? It wouldn’t work. The cheese, theoretically, would become rancid and acidic too fast and inedible.
But Tim and his team didn’t know what they didn’t know. So, they tried it anyway.
The result? Barely Buzzed — now an award-winning cheese and one of Beehive Cheese’s most popular creations. Sometimes, not knowing the “rules” is exactly what leads to something great.
Barely Buzzed kicked off a movement in the American artisan cheese world of rubbed-rind cheeses and has inspired dozens of other cheesemakers to use this method.
The other half of the Artisan Duo is a cheese that is almost as unique (and definitely as tasty) – the Beehive Apple Walnut Smoked Cheddar. It’s fantastic for a grilled cheese sandwich and we adored it on our Monte Cristo.
How do you get smoked flavor in cheese without melting it?? Beehive uses a cold smoking technique to do it and with 13 awards and counting, I’d say they have succeeded admirably. As far as pairing this one with wine, we found that (perhaps surprisingly) a nice Mourvedre went amazingly well.
These two cheeses would normally cost you $53.95 plus another $23.99 for 2 day express shipping (in ice packs). For the next few days you can get them for much less…
Get the Beehive Artisan Duo (one 12oz block of Barely Buzzed and one 12oz block of Apple Walnut Smoked Cheddar) for just $39.95 plus $9.99 for 2-day express shipping. That’s a total savings of $28!
The second option we have for you today is the Beehive Sweet and Savory Duo featuring one 12oz block of the Seahive Sea Salt and Honey Cheddar plus one 12oz block of the Red Butte Hatch Chile Cheddar.
The Sweet and Savory Duo starts out with the sweet, creamy and complex Beehive Seahive Sea Salt and Honey Cheddar, a winner of 13 awards and counting.
Able to pair with a wide variety of red and white wines, we especially like playing off the sweetness with a nice Riesling or Gewurztraminer.
This cheese is made with raw, unfiltered local wildflower honey and ancient sea salt:
We source our raw, unfiltered honey from Slide Ridge Honey, a local producer that keeps a portion of its bees on Beehive Cheese’s undeveloped land in Morgan County, Utah. This connection to the land makes Seahive truly local, with flavors shaped by the very environment where our cheese ages.
The salt is from Redmond Real Salt, a local salt producer who mines from the ancient salt beds located in Redmond, UT.
But the real surprise happens on the rind. When the honey and salt interact over time, the honey undergoes acidification. Instead of leaving a sweet finish, the sugars transform into acids, creating a tangy, complex flavor that challenges expectations.
The second half of the Sweet and Savory Duo is the Beehive Red Butte Hatch Chile Cheddar, a winner of 15 awards including 1st Place at the World Cheese Awards.
This one is not about the heat but it does have some lovely touches of spice. Unlike the others, this cheese has the hatch chiles mixed into the interior, not just rubbed on the rind (although it has that too). It will take your cheeseburger to the next level.
Our wine pairing of choice? It’s definitely Syrah. The bit of spice in cheese plays wonderfully with the typical Syrah notes.
Get the Beehive Sweet and Savory Duo (one 12oz block of Red Butte Hatch Chile and one 12oz block of Seahive) for just $39.95 plus $9.99 for 2-day express shipping. That’s a total savings of $28!
