I've never had a batch this bitter and I've smoked alot of cheese.
Didn't want to ruin this as it is 3 of the big wedges from costco $$$ I cut them into thirds so each wedge is approx 1 1/4 inch or so.

i usually vac pac my smoked cheese for at least 2 months before i try it-- i smoke mine for 2 hours and don't think that 2 1/2 hours would ruin it...give it some more time before you give up on it
:yeah: :yeah: :yeah:
Vacuum sealed for a minimum 2 months before I eat it. Should be good to go with more time. :tup: :tup:

:tup:Ok. well it is much improved. Still a bit of a smokey bite. Guess it will continue to mellow. Not sure what i did on this batch to get it so "strong".

I hope it works out for you, I've been in the situation where I've invested a ton of time and money into something that didn't work out. It will probably be fine, if not, it is at least a learning experience.
The best cheese I have ever had got lost in the back of my frige and was literally there for two years (canned Cougar cheese). When I got around to cracking it open, nobody believed what it was. Amazing stuff.

Ruined. Send it to me and I'll make sure it's disposed of properly
HAH

There is no such thing as over smoked cheese, just under conditioned tongues.

That's good to know, I've got 3 in the fridge now about a year old. Kid wants to smoke one, just haven't gotten around to it.
