Beautiful cold day pairs well with cheese!

[JCAP]

Greetings all,
The cold hit us last night here in PA. So I had the perfect opportunity to fire up the pellet tube and smoke some cheese:



Into the smoker we go:


Of course I had to have lunch during the cheese smoke. Smoked Ham and Colby with stone ground Dijon.


I decided to use pecan pellets today. Boy am I glad I did. 2 hours later I took them off and they were fantastic. A brief rest and then vacuumed sealed.





I wonder how long I can make these last!

The cheese looks really good from here. That parm cheddar is a new one on me. Let us know how it tastes.

Point for sure

Cheese looks great! Usually use apple pellets but will have to try out the pecan

Many thanks everyone. The pecan was a great choice I think- I usually use apple or cherry but I wanted to try something new and I'm not sure I'll go back! But I guess I really should do a head to head comparison.

The parm cheddar is good- leans more to the cheddar side with more subtle parm notes. But an interesting blend none the less.

I am finding that as much as I love swiss, I'm not the biggest fan of it smoked.

Looks like a good batch of cheese. Very nice!
