Self-assured and full-bodied, this deliciously nutty cheese gets its robust flavor from a hand-applied rub of French Superio lavender buds and a Turkish grind of "Beehive Blend" coffee from the Colorado Legacy Coffee Company. The rub imparts rich butterscotch and caramel flavors, which manage to find their way to the center. Aging on Utah Blue Spruce aging racks in humidity-controlled caves allows the textures and flavors to develop to perfection. This one is definitely not shy.
