My wife and I like an occasional cheese and cracker snack while watching the tube and I have been tempted to try smoking cheese since seeing it on SMF. Problem is we have tried smoked cheeses before from the likes of Hickory Farms and did not think much of them. Like hickory creosote poured on cheese, bitter with a terrible, terrible after taste. Threw it away! My wife feels I shouldn't even bother with smoking cheese that's how bad we thought it was.
I assume the smoked cheeses made by the members here are not like that and if I take the time to try it I will probably do a Monterey Jack and a mild Chedder. We both like smoked food but not an overwhelming smoke flavor.
I am getting a AMZNP and will wait till that arrives to give it a go.
I've read bunches of posts on the Cheese Forum and feel fairly confident on how it goes. Just wondering on how to prevent getting any of that bitter taste we have experienced in the past.
Thanks,
Gil
