Smoked old cheese

You've probably known the smoked cheese from the supermarket for a while. But what if I told you that with the smoking gun achieve an even tastier result? This recipe can be applied to any kind of cheese, but keep in mind that with some strong cheeses, it can become a bit overpowering. In this recipe, we use old cheese.

Ingredients

  • 200 gr old cheese
  • 1 gr wood dust

Prepare

  1. Preparation

    Place the cheese in a small container and place this container in the sous vide tray. Close the tray with foil. Add the wood dust to the Smoking Gun and turn it on for about 20 seconds. 

  2. Smoke the cheese

    Make sure the container is completely filled with smoke and try to let as little smoke escape as possible. Unlike hot smoking, cold smoking keeps the cheese at room temperature and therefore does not melt.

  3. To your own taste

    Let the cheese smoke in the container for 3-5 minutes and taste the cheese. If all goes well, the cheese should now have a decent smoky flavour, but of course you can always smoke it longer.

    Serve the cheese on bread, on a drinks board or use it in a dish such as a homemade pizza. We are curious to hear about your smoked cheese! Share it via #souvy
