First Post

[jwh70]

Hello everyone, this is my first post but I have been a member for a while just lurking and reading posts.  My name is Jay and I have a homemade smoker that I have been using for a while now and love.

I tend to smoke a lot of pork but have branched out to smoking about anything I can get my hands on. 

I have a question about smoking cheese which I did a couple of weeks ago, when I opened the baggies this morning there was a small amount of mold on the cheese, is that normal?   I don't have a vacuum sealer so I am sure I did not get all the air out. 

Thank you,

Jay.

Hi Jay! 

 to SMF!!! We're happy you found us!

If air gets to cheese it will allow mold to grow, just trim the mold off with a knife and eat the rest, it will be fine!

Welcome to the forum!

When I cold smoke cheese and package it, I wipe any moisture off with a paper towel.

Then I place it in sandwich bags and roll the bag up before I seal it to get as much air out as possible.

I've never had mold...knock on wood!
