SugarBee® Apple & Beecher’s Cheese Porchetta: Brought to you by 1908 BBQ & Bourbon

Recipe created by: Tyler Krost at 1908 BBQ & Bourbon

We here at SugarBee® are so excited to be working with the world famous Washington based cheese maker, Beecher’s Cheese! This special recipe uses Beecher’s special Reserve Cheese that is made only on days when the milk composition is just right. The last curds on the table from these makes are used to produce Flagship Reserve truckles as it allows for slightly lower moisture, higher salt content and thus a richer taste and texture while maintaining a clean, creamy finish. A big thanks to 1908 BBQ & Bourbon in Twisp and Chef Tyler for perfecting the vision and bringing this recipe to life.

This Porchetta Roast is one of our favorite meat dishes, with enough flavor to be enjoyed on its own or served with sides. This big, delicious dish is the perfect way to entertain guests this barbecue season. Using the perfect combination of meat, herbs, spices, and the best roasting pan, this simple Porchetta recipe is always a success.
