MacKenzie Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 It was below freezing today so time to smoke some cheese using the cold smoker. Used whiskey smoking wood for 4 or so hours on some aged cheddar and aged Gouda. Smoked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hello Mac, that’s a lot of cheese do you vacuum seal it and freeze it? I haven’t tried my cold smoker yet but cheese looks like a good way to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted December 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Yes, Bruce all packaged up and just mellowing out in the fridge for several weeks or months, some will go for gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Nice batch of smoked cheeses, MacKenzie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimac23 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 I make big batches of smoked cheese too. I find that it takes a fair while - at least a month to mellow a bit so it’s pleasurable. I’ve got some cheddar in the fridge that I smoked last January and it’s tasting amazing.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that batch you have in the fridge now tastes wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Doesn’t the cheese get moldy or go bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Doesn’t the cheese get moldy or go bad? No it doesn't, Bruce. It is vacuumed sealed and that keeps your fingers off it, no problem.Remember smoking is a method of food preservation so the vacuumed sealed cheese will keep for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
