2009 Award Winners See for yourself what 2009 was all about. This award winning sampling of Beehive Cheese includes: Barely Buzzed – Espresso and Lavender rubbed (6 oz cut). A labor-intensive cheese that’s hand-rubbed with a blend of Colorado Legacy Coffee (Roasted by the Cheesemakers brother) and French lavender buds. The rub imparts a nutty, exotic and bold flavor (stronger near the rind) that’s tempered by a buttery sweetness in the cheese. It’s the café-breve of cheeses. Straightforward yet complex.

Beehive RUSKS are loaded with whole grains, seeds, nuts, herbs and Utah’s Own wildflower honey, REAL® sea salt and dried cherries. Our RUSKS were inspired by an original work of art “ HIVE” by local artist Meri De Caria featured in our logo. We liked the “Hive” so much that we decided to bake our RUSKS in it's shape. We think you’ll agree that triangular shaped Beehive RUSKS are the perfect pairing with award winning Beehive Cheeses.
