why the "wait"?

why the "wait"?

Fresh out of the smoker the cheese has a bitter taste to it. I try go wait at least three weeks before eating. The flavor mellows over time, the longer you wait the better it is.

well I ate a wedge of it just a little left in the corner and I should have left it on longer its not as smoky as I wanted but still good.  I think the blue cheese taste is enhanced and amplified by the smoking.  The Swiss and Cheddar are from different smokes and I have not tried the Swiss I did with this blue cheese.

I just did my first cheese 10 days ago - took out of the smoker and immediately vacuum sealed it for 2 weeks. Should I have wiped them down before sealing? Maybe not sealed right away? I haven't tried the cheese yet as I am waiting for another 4 days to try. Any suggestions are helpful

Great looking Cheese! We really like smoked Swiss. Gonna have to get my hands on some good blue cheese and give it a go!

If you can find it in your area Rouge Valley Creamery Crater Lake Blue if FANTASTIC! Or better yet their gorganzolla!

of the many cheeses we do blue or gorganzola are one of the vavorites,,,, nothing better over a salad , i usuallt let the blues run 3-4 hrs depending on size of cheese. altho we do like a aliitle more smoke flavor than most. just my input. enjoy, you will find the timing that works best for you.

I agree to the more smoke flavor. I should have gone 4 hrs on the blue cheese.  It is still good but could have been smokier . I love a cobb salad with blue.

Apple sounds good. I have two apple trees and will harvest some wood for next year this spring.

I do pat with paper towel before sealing but I don't think it will hurt it. Let us know how it turned out.

Very cool!
