Chocolate and Cheese is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Ween, first released on September 27, 1994, through Elektra Records. It was the first Ween album to be recorded in a professional studio, in contrast to the four-track home recordings of The Pod and Pure Guava. However, most of the instruments were still played by Dean and Gene Ween, including their drum machine.
After self-producing their previous album, Pure Guava (1992), the band reunited with Andrew Weiss to produce the album. Its broad sound has been described as "genre-hopping", prominently featuring styles of music including psychedelia, country, funk, industrial, and Latin music. Chocolate and Cheese was supported by the singles "I Can't Put My Finger on It", "Freedom of '76", and "Voodoo Lady". Though the album did not perform well commercially, it received positive reviews and has been recognized as one of Ween's signature albums. It received a 30th anniversary deluxe edition re-release on August 2, 2024.
