Cold smoked cheese

[shoprat53]

I cold smoked some sharp cheddar cheese A week ago using apple wood. It was my first time smoking cheese came out good. I have been cutting up my cheese in small piece then storing in freezer to use in my summer sausage. This has worked out well the cheese stays whole does not melt out. Has anyone ever added smoked cheese to A snack stick or summer sausage if you did how did it turn out?

shoprat53 Walton’s has high temp cheese that you can add to your mix near the end before stuffing. It adds another level of flavor and visual appeal to the finished product. Many regular cheese’s have a lower melting point than the cooked point of the finished sausage leaving you a messy finished product. I haven’t tried smoking the high temp cheese, but that might be an option.

shoprat53 Yup, we have cold smoked our high-temp cheese in the past and then added it to sausage. Since we smoke the meat anyway it doesn’t really shine through but still fun to do!

Cheese is my 2nd favorite food group after meat
