Smoked Cheese

Purchased the A-Maze-N smoker tray last week and smoked some cheese with it yesterday. Used the Pitmaster's blend of Maple, Cherry and Hickory pellets. The cheese smoked for five hours and it never got above 77 degrees inside the smoker. Now the hard part is letting it mellow for three weeks. I did chunks of Colby, Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, Mild Cheddar, and Sharp Cheddar.

Beautiful Job Andy. That is going to be good. Nice packaging and labeling. Someone has nice handwriting. Much nicer than my scrawl.
 
Andy that is awesome it looks so good. I'd love to try that one of these days. Love smoked cheese. Yes your girlfriend has very nice hand writing.
 
I might be a little concerned about multiple cheeses in the same vacpack. I am sure it will all be delightful but the possibility of "crossed" flavors could be interesting so to speak.
I just bought the expanding Amazen smoker tube and cheese will probably be one of the first projects!

Guess I never thought of it. Will report back on my taste samples in a few weeks.
 
Great looking cheese! I've been using the tube smokers from Todd for years. They work great.

As mentioned you may get some of the pepper jack heat crossing over to the other cheese. I have noticed it when I have put slices of PJ in with other cheeses before.
 
Just did my own batch of smoked cheese on Saturday and also took advantage of the Kraft buy one get one free sale. This was my first attempt, so I didn't do nearly as much as you did, but I did get a good amount done. Now the hard part of waiting for the smoke to mellow so I can see how I did.

I agree, this is a long wait. One week down and at least two weeks to go.
