Big John’s Cajun: A cheese with a secret spice  

Big John’s Cajun started with a man, a restaurant, and a legendary rib rub.  

Chef John Dearmin, a well-known local restaurant owner, built a reputation for his incredible Cajun-style ribs. One day, he approached us with an idea—what if his signature rib rub was used on our cheese? We didn’t know what to expect, but as soon as we tasted it, we knew he was onto something. The bold, smoky, and spicy flavors paired perfectly with our creamy cheddar.  

At first, John guarded his secret rib rub recipe closely, mixing and delivering it to us himself. But as his restaurant grew busier, he eventually handed over the recipe, trusting us to carry on his Cajun tradition.  

The rest is history. Today, Big John’s Cajun is one of our most beloved cheeses, a tribute to the man who knew great flavor when he tasted it. Thanks, John!
