Beehive Cheese Co's Barely Buzzed is an award-winning artisan cheddar-style cheese handcrafted in Utah, rubbed with a blend of organic espresso and lavender. The rub creates a distinctive, aromatic rind that infuses the cheese with rich, complex flavors during aging.

Aged to coax out notes of butterscotch and caramel, Barely Buzzed delivers a full-bodied, nutty flavor with smooth, creamy texture and subtle hints of coffee and floral lavender. Made with cow's milk and vegetarian rennet, the cheese is gluten-friendly and uses all-organic rind ingredients.

Created by Tim Welsh of Beehive Cheese Company, this cheese defied predictions from cheese experts who said the concept was impossible. It went on to win 1st Place at the American Cheese Society Annual Competition in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2011, and has become a landmark product in the American artisan cheese movement. It pairs beautifully with toasted nuts, dark chocolate, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and stouts or porters.
