Cheese FAQ's
Q. What type of cheese do you smoke?
- I purchase the best soft cheddar
from Wisconsin.
Q. Does "HOT" Smoked mean Spicy
Hot.
- Absolutely not. It means it
has been smoked in an all western cedar smokehouse for
optimum flavor over a blend of three
woods also from Wisconsin which penetrates to the center
of the cheese.
Note: Most smoked cheeses are cold smoked and the smoke
flavor never reaches the center.
Q. How long do you smoke the cheese?
- The cheese is smoked for
approximately six hours or until it is smoked through
the center of the cheese.
Q. What size does the cheese come in?
- The cheese is bought in blocks and
then hand cut into 1/4 lb blocks. It is turned and
smoked on every side.
Q. How is the cheese packaged?
- The cheese is commercially vacuumed
packed in 3ml bags with two cubes per package. One
cube will do a plate of appetizers which is
approximately 28 slices to a cube. The cheese if
kept refrigerated will last up to a year.
Q. What is the price of cheese?
-
The current price is $13.00 per
lb. plus shipping. The price of cheese is
determined by the milk
price.
Trivia: It
takes 100 gallons of milk to make 10 lbs. of cheese.
Comments: I have smoked over 40
brands of cheese. This Deluxe Cheese has the smoothest texture
and can be used in so many different ways to add an awesome
flavor to whatever your mind can think of.
Always eat cheese at room
temperature for optimum flavor.
This cheese is served in many fine dining restaurants.
Salmon FAQ's
Q. What type of salmon do you smoke?
- Atlantic salmon, raised at the mouth
of the Campbell River in British Columbia. The
fish is quality assured and the fish are
fed only natural blend of food.
Q. Are these salmon frozen?
- No. I only smoke fresh one to two
day killed fish.
Q. Do you smoke other kinds of
salmon?
-
No! This salmon is one of the
highest in omega3 and has the best flavor and moisture
of
all the salmon I have smoked.
Q. Do you brine your salmon?
- Absolutely not. I use a dry rub of
spices with very light salt for X number of
hours. It is then washed off and
hot smoked until done.
Note:
There is NO MSG
in my recipe.
Q. How long can you keep your fish?
- After smoking, the fish is then
commercially vacuumed packed in a 3ml bags.
You can keep it for several weeks as
long as you keep it refrigerated at 38F or less.
Note:
Be sure to not buy too much fish. You will not
want to freeze fish that you can't eat at the time of
purchase. A home freezer will change the flavor
because it freezes the fish to slow. The fish
would have to be flash frozen in order to preserve the
flavor.
Q. What is the price of fish?
- The current price is $20.00 per lb.
plus shipping. During the year the price of fish may
vary. The Canadians determine our
price.
Comments: I have been
smoking fish for close to 45 years. This salmon is the
choice of many fine
dining restaurants.
