Smoking Cheese at Home

Given how popular smoked cheese is, it's surprising more people don't try smoking cheese at home. With a dedicated cheese smoking kit, it couldn't be easier.

The Perfect Cheeseboard

Putting together the perfect cheeseboard requires catering to all tastes—soft and hard, strong and mild. There will always be at least one smoked cheese, and they are often the first to be finished. Imagine being able to tell your guests, "Finish it up, I'll smoke some more!"

Smoking Cheese at Home

With a dedicated cheese smoking kit, like the Foghat Smoking Cloche Set, you can easily smoke a piece of cheese—or even charcuterie—in just a few minutes. Store-bought smoked cheese is often just infused with liquid smoke; smoking at home using natural wood provides a much more authentic and superior flavor.

What Flavors Can You Use to Smoke Cheese?

To start, try classic flavors like apple, cherry, maple, and nutty flavors. As you become more experimental, you can move on to robust options like mesquite, bourbon, or sherry.

Conclusion

Smoking cheese at home is a rewarding way to elevate your entertaining game. Whether you are transforming an inexpensive cheddar or infusing a creamy Brie, the control over wood type and smoke time allows you to achieve perfection.
