Cheese tasting notes? (it's a minefield out there)
Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2014 1:37 pm
I put this here on the premise that I am continually asking questions regards how does this or that cheese work & turn to edible gold ..or turn to slurry.
& therefore there'll be more of the same so why not log a cheese result as you found it?
If it's not suitable please feel free to move or delete it site mods.
Wheels mantra seems to be pretty spot on with regards to the cheaper cheese seems to blossom compared to an expensive cheese spoilt when put to smoke.
..............................
Emmental, "president" brand.
(personally, IMHO, Not for smoking ..a waste of lovely nutty cheese).
smoked x3 full loads on Mac's csg, fast throughflow, mid nov 2013 vac sealed late november, opened late jan 2014.
Dark colour smoke rind, minimal depth penetration, nicely contrasting appearance when cut.
Not a deep overpowering smoke flavour limited to outer surface, the cheese held it's original texture with nutty flavours poking out but not as clear cut as before.
