CHEESE DUTIES OF A WORKING MAN
I've been in a funk lately, but had a sneaking suspicious that spending time around artisan cheese makers would snap me out of it. So I made my way to the Beehive Cheese factory near Ogden Canyon to get romanced by curds. And thanks to BEEHIVE CHEESE and their cheese therapy, I'm on the MEND! Thanks co-owner Tim Welsh for inviting me! And please keep your melt-in-your mouth cheddar coming. These guys are a true family-run tender-loving-care operation. They dote on their cheeses (play opera when they stir the milk right before it seperates into whey and curd.) They love what they do and their cheese is becoming known far and wide... Murray's in New York selected Beehive's Barley Buzzed (rubbed in coffee and lavendar) as their cheese of the week.

STEPS OF CHEESE MAKING
After the milk is collected and heated, rennet and bacteria are added... we get this lovely custard-like mass of 500 gallons of milk.... It's soft as silk and smells good enough to eat!!
