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!

    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!
