Well cheese smoking #3 was a success! 4 hours with the apple wood. ZERO MELT. All labeled and vacum packed. Another fun day with the Bayou Classic stick burner. (several pics)
That sounds great! Let us know how it turned out. I am new to the cheese deal but I am ALL in. Love it!Looking good.
I have a block of pepper jack resting from a smoke 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow will be the grand opening and if it is good I will be doing a big cheese smoking event myself!
From what I have read on this site they can go for many many months. Even years. I am new to the cheese smoking deal.With the vacuum seal, how long do you expect these to stay fresh?
I had some that was over a year old , that was fantastic . I have some cheddar that I did last March 2017 . Might open some and see how it is .With the vacuum seal, how long do you expect these to stay fresh?
Wow, thats great. I have been really interested in buying a vacuum sealer. If and when I do, cheese will be a new thing to try!I had some that was over a year old , that was fantastic . I have some cheddar that I did last March 2017 . Might open some and see how it is .

I used to wrap really tightly in saran wrap then put them in a ziploc. I had about 10% that lasted a year, the rest were moldy. Since I've started vacuum sealing immediately upon finishing the cold smoke, I've had almost all of them last over a year (at least the ones that didn't get eaten by that time).With the vacuum seal, how long do you expect these to stay fresh?
Ok. Was curious. When can I taste a block that I have smoked? I'm new to the cheese game but I'm hooked!!!!Got some xsharp, 2015. Waiting till 2020 election to open. Vac sealed of course. Try them corndog pellets. Really good, even though they smell like grass burning o my a little sweeter
