If you’ve ever purchased a smoker, this story will ring true for you and your family members—we’ve all been through a smoked-food craze in our lives. Co-owner of Beehive Cheese, Pat Ford, is no exception to this. Impressively, back in 2006, Pat welded his own homemade smoker and began smoking everything in sight (his wife and kids still giggle a little when you mention this time in their lives).
Beehive had been in business for only a year by 2006. They were doing a lot of experimentation with their cheddars at that time and they decided to smoke a 20-lb wheel in Pat’s homespun smoker. Being resourceful, Pat grabbed what he had on hand to smoke the wheel, which was apple and walnut wood from his trees in the backyard.
The first batch was a comical melted mess. However, the second batch was the beginning of the Apple Walnut Smoked we know today, and they’ve been perfecting this cheese ever since. To date, it’s the reigning champion of Smoked Cheddars in the United States according to the American Cheese Society.
