I have a large batch of four and five year old cheese that I had smoked. I cut into one this am for a little breakfast snack, very, very tasty!
I was doing up to 20 pounds at a time so it's easy to stash some away. Good luck with you cheese adventure!I'm getting ready to smoke cheese for the first time today or this weekend, depending on if I can get our soon enough to get some pellets for my new AMNPS.
How did you store that for so long?
Thanks.

I have that residue on my 5 y old smoked cheese too. While it might not look like fresh cheese it tastes awesome.Well that settles the question on how long will vac packed cheese last in the fridge. Actually I think the smoking process extends the shelf life, because my neighbor moved back up North & said come & take what you want from my fridge. Well, it was full of cheese that was a couple of years past it's use by date. I took it & it had a lot of greasy residue all over it, but I washed it off dried it & smoked it & it tastes like any other smoked cheese I have smoked. But I bet if it was smoked first it wouldn't have had that residue on it. I may just take a block & put it in the back of the fridge & see how long it will stay good. I bet it will outlive me!!
