Beehive Cheese

Great little cheese shop– and you’ve got to try the espresso and lavender cheese (barely buzzed). I’m a coffee hater. Can’t stand the stuff– but this cheese? It’s amazing. I thought it was actually lavender and cocoa– I really couldn’t taste whatever it is in coffee that I don’t like, in this cheese. I could eat this cheese every day.
I just love Beehive cheese.

Great little local cheese shop that I was glad to visit in person since my local cheese haunt in Dallas, Scardello’s, offers their cheese. The staff was nice and the cheese was delicious. I highly recommend the Promontory and the Barely Buzzed… yum!

Huzzah for Beehive Cheese!
I’ve had the opportunity to tour the place. Seen behind the curtains, if you will. And while it’s quite the impressive facility, it’s still such a cute little cheese company that you can’t help but root for the little guy.
The cheese itself is delicious, and made more delicious when they apply one of many rubs to give it unique tastes. The Barely Buzzed is rubbed in coffee and lavender. Teahive in black tea and Bergamont oil. Seahive has honey and salt rub, and my personal fave is either Big John’s Cajun (a cayenne pepper based seasoning) or the apple walnut smoked cheese. I am capable of consuming large amounts of either of those. Check out the website or store to see the full line.
While you may not be able to take a tour of the facility here, do step in to the small cheese and local goods shop that they operate. It’s small, but darling and offers a good selection of local stuff beyond their cheese. You can also shop their website or look for a local retailer.
The shop and is a little hard to find – it’s behind the row of businesses that are visible from the road. Take Highway 89, and just after you pass under I-​84 (or as you approach it if you’re coming from the north) turn into the shopping area on the east side of the road. You’ll take that road until it wraps around and parallels I-​84 going east and see a few business fronts. Currently it’s a dance studio, and Beehive Cheese is located behind the first row of businesses.

This cheese is the bee’s knees! Local made and very tasty. Try it!

Beehive Cheese Company is a unique cheese company with a limited cheese selection. I love fresh local cheese as I had three years of cheese in cache valley while at school. As Beehive Cheese Company is a smaller cheese place compared to Gossner’s which I still prefer to Beehive.
The store has short hours and is smaller than I thought, but has a little selection of local products. I will have to try one of the jalapeño jellies they carry there one time. Squeaky cheese is fair with plain, smokey jalapeño, habanero, Cajun, and cinnamon flavors. I could only try the first four as cinnamon does not appeal to me. All I can say is that the habanero, smokey jalapeño, and Cajun were a let down. Cajun had a unique flavor to it and is not for everyone. Habanero was too weak in the package we got, really wanted more heat. Smokey jalapeño had a nice smokey flavor with a lack of jalapeño punch in my opinion. Plain was good but pricey. Love local foods and will still go here for some of the different cheeses like apple walnut cheese. The granola is really good as I got to sample some the day I went here. Worth buying every so often, but there are better cheese places in Utah.

I found this cheese at the Park City Farmers Market. It’s amazing! I bought a rare blend called «Moo-​Baa». I highly recommend this cheese and will now make the Farmers Market my main place to go and buy not only fruits and veggies but CHEESE! =)

I love cheese!
I love buying local!
I love buying local cheese!!!
I especially love it when the product is on par, quality-​and-​taste-​wise, with anything you’ll get imported from anywhere. Thanks to Wild Grape for introducing me to this cheese company and thanks to Beehive Cheese Company for obviously caring deeply and putting out a quality product. Delishushnuss.

I have been enjoying Beehive Cheese since I first tasted the Lavender and Coffee rubbed cheddar at the Farmer’s Market around three years ago.
I have had the opportunity to see them grow, expand their line of cheeses and spread into local food purveyors throughout the valley and today I had the chance to visit the heart of the cheese just outside of Ogden. We made the trip up from SLC to collect on a certificate we bid on and won in a Slow Food Utah Silent auction, it was for an entire wheel of cheese!
The cheeses are lovingly hand crafted in small batches out of a small little shop and cheese factory. With delicate rubs like the Sea Hive (salt and honey), Barely Buzzed (lavender and honey), Promontory (cheddar), and Full Moon (unpasteurized and buttery) you can’t go wrong and choose something bad. The cheese curds will hold you over on your way home and offer their own special salty goodness.
With so many great cheeses to choose from the folks at Beehive offered the opportunity to combine several cheeses into a wheel’s worth and we walked out with 4 rubbed cheeses and a bag of cheese curds and some pretty big smiles! Can’t wait to give these away as slices of cheesy Christmas gifts! Now, don’t you wish you were on my Christmas list?

This cute little cheese company was right across from our hotel in Ogden. We saw signs for «Fresh Cheese Curds» and knew we had to visit.
Cheese curds are little little bundles of cheesy heaven. And the squeeking sensation is unlike anything else. It’s so… fulfilling!
This company has a cute little gift shop that sells the cheese (and curds) produced there, along with other local jams, honey, and goods.
The curds were excellent and I’d definitely recommend them!
