Review:
As you stroll through Seattle’s Pike Place Market, stop by Beecher's Handmade Cheese to try some incredible mac and cheese. Once you enter this lovely, bright restaurant, you’ll quickly realize you’ve entered a genuine cheese factory. Only a glass partition separates diners from the cheese-makers, so you can watch the vats of boiling milk and craftsmen making the restaurant’s award-winning cheeses.
Owner and cheese-maker Kurt Beecher Dammeier works with a range of dairy farmers from the region to ensure that he gets only uses the best milk available, with no hormones or additives. After all, you can’t have good cheese without good milk.
The cheese-making process is very similar to the one producers used a thousand years ago; Kurt has only added a bit of new technology. Don’t forget to buy some cheese for later in their attached shop – try their award-winning 4-year Aged Flagship cheddar.
