Smoking cheese

[Kc_Kracker]

mmmm smoked pepperjack and smoked oysters, yumm! already smokin some for game day myself, cant wait

It's hard for me to eat it within days of smoking.  It's about like licking an ash tray. 
The only way I can is if I cut the outer 1/8th off of all sides, then I cant stop eating it till it's gone.
Do you eat the whole thing within days or weeks of a multi hour smoke?

like you i cut the skin off too, its way too smokey and we dont like it either, bleck!. we did 2 blocks of the pepperjack jalapeno and 2 blocks of swiss. also like you we let it sit in the fridge for a few days, i dont like it warm or right out of the smoker.

I smoke cheeses with apple or alder chips for about an hour, you can eat it within about 3-4 days. I vacuum bag all of it but what I will eat immediately after 2 days and it's usually really good after just a couple more days. I also keep it as cold as possible by getting the chips going with the door off on a cold day and then unplugging the smoker, close the door and put a box over the top to help keep the smoke in. 1 hour later it's done and I take it out, I used to do it more like you are describing but I got tired of tasting it once a week for 2 months before it was edible. We have already gone through at least 20 lbs of smoked cheese this year! I will be doing another batch this week.

Yes. That stuff is expensive though. Picked up a few tins at the Creamery when I was visiting my daughter.

It is a long slow smoke. Wrap tightly and cure for 3 weeks.
