First load of the season.

Yesterday was a great time to cut the cheese...and smoke it!

I have some 8 and 14 year old cheddar. But couldn't convince myself to smoke it. But, I did find some 3 year old at a great price. Along with some other cheese.

These went in the bullet for 3 hours using a tube smoker with a 50/50 blend of apple and Alderwood. I also put some store bought pepperoni
in there as well for a experiment.

Packaged up and ready to munch. I really like these 1 pint zip lock vacuum bags! The 3 year old cheese is incredible.

Looks great, Steve. Thanks for sharing.

Once you took the cheese out of the smoke, what was your process before vacuum sealing?

Thanks! I left them on the counter for a few hours. Then wrapped loosely in plastic wrap in the fridge overnight. In the morning I vacuum sealed them.
