First Time Smoking Cheese (With Pics)

Nice work on the cheese.

Cannot beat smoked cheese, so tasty. We do a lot of cheddar, but one of our favorites is Jarlsberg.

Hmm, Jarlsburg. Thanks, may try that next!

I would love to try this. How long do you smoke it for? I'm wondering how much smoke penetration you get into say a 2lb. block of cheese and how to make the smoke flavor be even through the entire block? Or is it better to just use smaller blocks?

Cheese looks terrific. I have a pile of cheddar and Gouda, we love the stuff!

I went with 3 hours for this particular smoke. For the 2lb. blocks I cut them into four 8 oz pieces. I got a tip on another thread to keep them uniform in size as much as possible. I got great smoke penetration throughout those 8 oz pieces.

Thanks! This is going to become a problem soon when I start running out of room to store all this cheese!

Nice haul of cheese! And congrats on the carousel ride.

I always smoke enough cheese during the winter to make sure I have it for burgers in the summer!

Thanks, I was so excited to get a ride, I was showing it off to my family like I won an award or something LOL. I think I'll take advantage of any cool days we have in the fall and winter to stock up for next summer.

Then last week I made homemade pizza dough, optimized to be grilled, and used the smoked mozz on that with BBQ chicken and red onions, topped with chives.
