Who is Big John?

Chef John Dearmin, who also happens to be quite tall, is a local Ogden, UT chef who was one of our first customers. He is a whizz with ribs and happens to hail from Louisiana. He graciously allowed us to use his rib rub on our Promontory. We named this cheese after him.

Trying to decide between the 2/12 oz or the quarter wheel?

The 12-oz cut is our work horse. This one is for the entertainer or used in cooking. It’s enough cheese for a couple grilled cheese sammies or a party of 12-16 guests. These wedges have a 3 month shelf life if kept in the original packaging. 

The 5 lb quarter wheel is perfect for large parties and weddings.

    Life Changing Cheese

    Stunning comes to mind - Recently picked up a package of this at my local food market in San Francisco and after the first bite I was lost in my own happiness that was happening in my mouth.

    What a find!

    My wife and I were at a wine tasting in Napa, CA and were served this wonderful product... asked our server who made the cheese, and were told the story of Beehive! We have been regular orderers ever since ... friends and family love the product. We are in Ohio and the product is always shipped professionally and in perfect condition. When we saw that Beehive was stepping up to help the Utah Food Bank, we were happy to support!

    Beehive is the bee’s knees

    I’ve ordered, eaten and served Beehive cheese for several years now. Initially introduced to Barely Buzz, as I tried more varieties (love, love Big John’s Cajun), I’m convinced they’ve never churned out a bad cheese. Highly recommended.

    Big Johns Cajun

    I’m a big fan of Beehive Cheese. Big Johns Cajun is my favorite. It’s mild but has a nice spicy kick. Fast shipping and arrives packed cold.
