Smokin' Cheese
« on: March 19, 2017, 01:39:34 PM »
I tried this for the first time a few weeks ago. The lovely wife loved the outcome, and required me to stock up for the summer.

4lbs Mozarella and 4lbs Colby-Jack (Walmart brand). 2lb bricks cut into quarters.

A lit briquette, a couple of unlit briquettes and a small chunk of Cherry. I added a couple of bottles of ice under the cheese because it's nearly 60 degrees today.

That's basically how I did it.  Smoking cheese is fun and tastes amazing.  The hatd part is waiting two weeks before you eat it!  Believe me it is worth it.

Apparently you have to give the smoke flavor time to disperse through the cheese and "mellow" in flavor.

It gives the cheese some time to mellow out and smoke to penetrate deeper.  I've opened some later than two weeks and noticed a better flavor.

Great setup, how did you store them? Vacuum sealed?

Vacuum sealed cheese will last well over a year in the fridge!  I've heard that some cheeses don't freeze very well while others do.  I just keep mine in the fridge.

Good to know. In that case, is it OK to vacuum seal right out of the smoker?

I'd definitely wait until the cheese has chilled first, it will retain its shape better

Couldn't help notice, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I've ever heard of a blue MLH. @Craig

Now back to our regular programming.
