#37 Barely buzzed - Beehive Cheese Co.

So far the weirdest cheese I've ever had.

Lavender and coffee.

Who the hell rubs their cheese down (no that's not a euphemism) with lavender and coffee?

The Beehive Cheese Company of Utah that's who!!

But believe me when I say this is one of the most memorable cheeses I've had (despite my loathing of lavender).

Barely buzzed is a firm (but not hard) pale yellow cow's milk cheese. The coffee/lavender rub gives the rind a dark thin crust with a slight caramel taste. The lavender comes through but subtly I couldn't get much coffee flavour except at the end at the back of the palate.

Superb and truly unique.
