This is what happens when you push the 80 degree mark when smoking cheese. Oil surfaces and if you don't catch it soon enough it will ruin the texture of the cheese. I caught this just in time.
Keep it under 80 keep it under 75 is even better.
Agree-
Yes always let your freshly smoked cheese sit at room temp for several hours before packaging other wise it may sweat and moisture is not a good thing.
Ok first of all you must keep your cheese well under 80 degrees or the oils will rise to the surface and change the texture of the cheese. At 120 degrees your lucky it didn't melt through your racks I've been there 20 years ago and that isn't pretty.
Another lesson learned with vacuum sealing...
Smoked ice cubes for bourbon, iced tea, grilled lemon aid and soups etc.
for the strongest smoke flavor smoke your ice with hickory. If you want to tone it down a bit use apple or cherry.
