Beecher's Handmade Cheese Essential Cheese Trail Tasting Board is a 9-ounce curated sampler of three award-winning semi-hard cow's milk cheeses crafted at Beecher's glass-walled cheesemaking kitchen in Seattle's historic Pike Place Market. Using fresh, pure milk from local family-owned dairy farms and traditional artisan methods practiced for thousands of years, all Beecher's cheeses contain no artificial ingredients and are made with milk from cows not treated with rBST.

The board features three distinct cheeses. Flagship, aged a minimum of 15 months, is a cross between Cheddar and Gruyère with hints of browned butter and caramel—balanced, dense, and creamy. It pairs naturally with red and white wines or an India Pale Ale and is excellent crumbled into an omelet or served on a baguette with spicy jam. Marco Polo is a buttery and bold cheese milled with green and black peppercorns that impart rich umami and savory butter notes; it pairs well with Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, or a Hefeweizen and is ideal grated over a baked potato or risotto. Jerk Spice is an earthy, nutty, and spicy semi-hard cheese infused with Jamaican jerk spices including allspice, thyme, cayenne, cinnamon, and nutmeg; it pairs well with dry rosé or Cabernet Sauvignon and melts beautifully on a burger or turkey melt with pickled vegetables.
