Smoked Cheese

Smoked cheese is a cheese that has undergone a smoking process, typically using beechwood or fruitwood smoke. The smoking gives it a distinctive golden-brown rind and a rich smoky flavour that varies depending on the type of cheese and the duration of smoking. It can be made from cow's, sheep's, or goat's milk and comes in many varieties, from soft to semi-hard and hard types. In the kitchen, it works well on cheese boards, in sandwiches, and in hot dishes. It melts beautifully, making it a great addition to baked pasta, pizza, stuffings, or soups. It pairs excellently with bread, smoked meats, red peppers, and wine.
