Title: Rainy Florida Cheese
Post by: nepas on June 13, 2014, 01:19:33 PM
Who says you cant cold smoke in the summer  ??? And its pouring again.
Better stock up before the corrupt feds say no more imported cheese.

Got some cheese to slice up.

The Jarlsberg has like a layer of waxy cheesecloth on it. I use my fillet knife to take off. You could use a potato peeler also.

While the cheese is sliced i'm getting my smoker going with my Amaznps with apple.

Rick - you are one of the "cheesey-est" guys I know.... :D :D :D


That looks like some fodder for a few pretzels and wobbly-pops!

Those are my two favorite cheeses to smoke Rick, I know they're going to be great but you better smoke a whole lot more that isn't going to last long.

I think you did fine on the cheese cutting Rick, my Jarlsberg usually looks about the same when I cut it, of course I'm assuming that's the "cheese cutting" your referring to and not the kind you do after red beans and rice...
