Smoked some cheese today!
-
ND Mike Looks good. Once you see how easy it is to do you’ll be looking forward to doing it every year. I did over 50 lbs already and have about 17 more to go.
What flavor pellets did you use?Bob Stehlik yeah I was amazed at how easy it really is. Just takes a little bit of time. I used cherry. I was out of apple. I did have a blend of cherry, hickory, and maple that I almost used.

bocephus smoked gouda is one of my favorites!
-
craigrice go for it. I think I’m going to be making it a couple of times a year now.

I had the day off and while I was running errands I decided it was the perfect day to smoke some cheese. I have never done it but today just felt right. I didn’t have to worry about the temperature as we didn’t get above 4 degrees today! So it was definitely cold smoke…lol!
On the Weber kettle with a pellet tube.
After a 2 hour smoke.
Wrapped in butcher paper for a 24 hour rest period.
After the rest period I will vacuum pack then the really hard part. Waiting 2 weeks to let it mellow out the smoke before eating!!!ND Mike Great job Mike, nice variety of cheeses too!

I used parchment paper and that worked alright but think butcher paper would be better. I’m only a week into the “mellowing” period and it seems like a month since I smoked the cheese. Let us know how it turns out after the wait.

Let us know if any one of them stand out over the others.I really can’t imagine any of them not being pretty good.

processhead will do. It will be about two weeks.

ND Mike : I use the hickory fruit blend pellets for cheese all the time comes out great. I did around 40 pounds and still have a bunch more to do. Jarlesberg Swiss is really good served with sliced apples.
Idaho Smokey thanks for the info!

Jesser I used cherry.

Looks great!
I like peach pellets, personally. Or Pecan, because I always have that on hand, and sometimes I forget to go grab some more peach before doing cheese.

Midwest_kc I want to get some peach pellets. I have heard that it is really good with pork. What brand pellets do you buy for peach?

PapaSop I’m hoping it turns out. I love smoked cheese and this was pretty easy.
