Title: Smoked Cheese Cold Smoked
Post by: commonsense on December 28, 2008, 05:52:20 AM
It was 25 degrees yesterday here in Minnesota so I smoked some mozzerela cheese.  The temp never got above 55 degrees in the smoker.

I smoked it about an hour then vacuum sealed them.  I've read on here that about 10 days is good so I'll try that.

I also threw on two T-Bone steaks and cold smoked them during that time as well.  I wrapped those up in aluminum foil overnight.  I'll grill

them today. 

I hope everything turns out good.

I would say 10 days as a minimum, the longer the better. It all depends on how long you can wait.  :)

As for the T-Bones..... you better send them to me for closer examination.  ;) ;D

Do you think I should keep it in the packages longer than 10 days?

Smoked cheese is like some fine wines...they get better with age.  I like a minimum of 2 weeks and have had some(that I've successfully hid from the family) in there a couple months.  The longer the better, IMO.

I would go at least two weeks if you can hold out that long. I opened a package that I did last sping a few weeks ago and it was great. I had it hid in the back of the fridge so no one could find it. And it worked, I even forgot about it but what a pleasent suprise.
