Smoked cheese recipes
A wide variety of cheeses can be smoked over wood chips to add an extra layer of flavour, although originally the process was developed as a way to preserve cheeses. Cold-smoking is the most common method, but hot-smoked cheeses, which tend to be stronger, are also occasionally found. Cheeses that are commonly smoked include Cheddar, Cheshire, ³Ò°ù³Ü²âè°ù±ð and even some softer cheeses such as Brie.
These meat-free pasties are relatively quick and easy to make, but are full of flavour with smoked cheese, mustard and spring onions.

Buyer's guide
Smoked cheeses will generally have a golden brown rind. Note that a cheaper way for producers to add a smoky flavour to cheese is to use an artificial liquid smoke flavouring. Look for those that have actually been smoked, rather than artificially flavoured.
Storage
Genuine cold-smoked cheeses will keep slightly longer than their unsmoked counterparts.
