Beecher's Handmade Cheese produces a product called Four Year Flagship. This cheese is known for its rich, robust flavor, which develops over a four-year aging process. The extended aging gives the cheese a dense and crumbly texture, with complex notes of caramel and a lingering finish.


Four Year Flagship is often enjoyed on its own, as part of a cheeseboard, or incorporated into recipes to add depth and character.

About Beecher's Handmade Cheese

Beecher's Handmade Cheese, established in 2003, is renowned for its artisanal cheesemaking in the heart of Seattle's Pike Place Market. The company was founded by Kurt Beecher Dammeier and quickly became known for its commitment to quality and natural ingredients, producing cheese free from artificial preservatives and flavor enhancers.


Beecher's is particularly famous for its Flagship cheese, a semi-hard cow's milk cheese noted for its robust, nutty flavor that is carefully aged for 15 months to develop its complex character. Beecher's operates transparently with a glass-walled facility that allows visitors to watch the cheesemaking process, emphasizing educational outreach and community engagement.


They also contribute significantly to charitable causes, with a portion of their sales going to the Beecher's Pure Food Kids Foundation, which teaches children about healthy eating and the importance of natural foods.
