In thread http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/123130/smoked-cheese-from-go-to-show-w-q-view  [color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]Scarbelly says: "Most of us who have been smoking cheese for a while let it rest in the fridge for a minimum of two weeks. I personally like 4-6 weeks. I have some that is 14 months old and Nepas just opened some that was aged 20 months."[/color]

[color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]I have a few other posts where people say longer is better. However, as suggested, I will try for myself. I've learned over years of cooking, it is the only way to get it the way you like it.[/color]

[color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]Thanks again for the advice. I wasn't looking forward to waiting that long.[/color]

Thanks Disco!!!

I didn't remember Gary saying that. He and Todd were like my brothers here for years.

We used to email nearly daily.

Here's my actual take on the cheese-----I won't start eating it until 2 weeks, but most of it stays wrapped for longer (3,4,6,10 weeks), because it takes weeks for us to eat it.

But I would never wrap it all, and not open any of it before 6 weeks is up.

Well, from what I have seen of the posts, the three of you have shared a world of experience that the rest of us are grateful for.

It is one of the worst/best things about this forum. It makes you get to it!

Whew, I'm glad I'm not alone!!!

I haven't done any cheese in a long time because of the price.

It's hard to justify paying $8 a pound for cheese, when I can get Prime Rib for $4.98.

LOL

I dont think I payed 8 dollars per lb.  But when I got my last cheese to smoke the bill was much higher than I expected.

That wilI be some great tasting cheese!

I have been building up my smoked cheese supply. I now have some that is almost 2 years old. I have found that about a 8oz. block is about the right size. Even if i buy a 10# block. I cut it into smaller pieces. I try to catch it on sale and buy a bunch. I gave a lot of smoked cheese for Christmas. Every body loved it. For some reason almost everyone that has tried mine likes the pepper jack best. I never cut it for at least 2 weeks for a taste test. It is much better after a coupe of months. Even better after a year.

Happy smoken.

I don't need to convince you all but you can take a inexpensive simple block of cheese, smoke it and it transforms into a upper tier cheese....Which is why i get my cheese at Aldi.  I'll have to check how much it is per pound but i can tell you that it's way less than $ 8.
