When I smoke cheese it usually takes it a couple of days to "mellow" but yours sure looks good...actually just did about 5# 3 days ago..Will be in touch about the italian seasoning..

John,

Looks amazing. I wonder if you could smoke curd. I love Wisconsin trips just for that.

Hey Julie...it is good!! Might bring some to Atlanta!!

egret

I usually do the same, Wess. But, this stuff is good the day after and will only get better.....Got your seasoning right here, brother! Let me know......

egret

You got that right, my friend! Too good for the rats, though!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

egret

Never tried that, Steve! In fact, I'm not sure I ever partook of curd in any fashion!!

OH JOHN! you are missing a treat!~ when we go home to Pa there is a cheese factory in Troupsburg, NY that we have to hit every time, we get at least 10 pounds. they do cheddar and some other cheeses but when they have fresh curd..... it looks like mozzarella and is about the size of a pecan and shiny and irregular shaped, when you bite it it should squeak! a little salty mmmmmm and the day old when it looses its squeak it is still good, but on pizzas HEAVEN! it makes my mouth water to just think about it!

Looks great John, Anne and Del are great people!!

Nice job, egret. That is something I have yet to try but I'm curious, can you freeze it after the vacuum seal or does that ruin it. If not frozen, how long will it keep in the vac seal?
