Smoked Cheese

[disco]

Egad! I was almost out of smoked cheese! Fortunately, it is still cool here and I have lots of free time! I did smoke Extra Old Cheddar, Gouda, Havarti and Jalapeno cheddar for 2 hours with apple pellets in my A-Maze-N Tube smoker. I have enough of my last batch that I will be able to let these age for a few weeks before diving in!

Looking good Disco. Two of my favorites, cheddar and gouda. I have never had Havarti but I forgot that I did smoke some last fall...I think I'll have to dig that out of the fridge in a little while. Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks! If you like gouda and cheddar, you will like havarti. A nice semi firm texture and cheesy taste without being overpowering.

You guys up North are so lucky.
If I tried smoking cheese right now, it would be fondue.

Great minds think alike Disco!

I also was running dangerously low, so I got a batch done this morning....

SWMBO told me it needed to happen soon!

Secondhand, luckily I am up in Show Low and morning temps are in the upper forties, so I threw on 4 lbs of Pepper Jack, our favorite, and 2 lbs each of colby jack, and mild cheddar.

Nice disco! I did the same thing with a pile of Gouda a couple nights ago. This was a first, but my amazen maze ignited in my Lang firebox and my cook chamber hit 100 degrees. Didn’t totally melt but my Gouda got a little deformed and oily. I hope I didn’t mess the texture up too too much...

John,
Show Low is the perfect place to be right about now.
Morning temps down here are in the low to mid 60's.
But once the sun gets higher in the sky, things warms up quickly.

Truth. It does take planning to have cheese through the summer! Thanks!

Smoking cheese has to be easy. I do it. You just need to keep the temperatures low and get some form of smoke generator. Let me know if I can help or answer questions.

It will still be delicious! Have you tried freezing some juice bottles full of water and putting them around your cheese while smoking?

Thanks Chris. I hope you and yours are safe.

Hm. Give advice to a wife. Let me check. Nope, I haven't lost my mind.
