Big John's Cajun, aka Pizza Pie!

If you're looking to try a cheese with some kick-ass elements, you must check out Beehive. They are truly the Guru of unique cheeses; most of them are award winning and live up to their titles. My first was John's Big Cajun at a local cheese shop. Our cheese monger knows us well and had a slice ready in hand the minute we walked in. This is the pizza pie of cheeses, hands down! 


The texture of Beehive cheeses are creamy, silky even. The milk is from local Jersey cows in Northern Utah, their credo is quality. John's Big Cajun is ridiculously smooth, melts on your tongue upon contact and all you get is pure flavor: roasted tomatoes, chili pepper, tarragon and lasting note of fresh oregano. It gets better once you reach the rind, in my opinion if you don't eat the rind,  you really didn't eat the cheese. All the rub and flavoring is on that baby and makes the cheese...well, John's Big Cajun. 


Their secret is substituting the commonly used paprika with cayenne. Whatever it is, it makes for a perfect pizza pie and I devoured every last morsel. This wedge goes perfectly with a rich wheat beer or if you're a vino drinker, go red and full bodied.
