Seahive

Utah cheddar rubbed with ancient sea salt and honey

Seahive is a true expression of the flavors of Utah. Sweet and creamy, we rub the rind of this Utah cheddar with local wildflower honey and ancient salt. Yes, ancient salt. Our salt is harvested from a pristine ocean deposit in Redmond, Utah. This gives Seahive its signature pinkish hue.

What does it taste like?

Sweet and creamy. The honey on the rind elevates its inherent sweetness without becoming cloyingly sweet.

A local gem

Seahive isn’t just about honey and salt—it’s about partnership, place, and the unexpected magic of aging.

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.

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.

At Beehive Cheese, we love pushing boundaries—and Seahive is proof that sometimes, the best flavors come from the unexpected.

The salt is from Redmond Real Salt, a local salt producer who mines from the ancient salt beds located in Redmond, UT.
