I smoked six blocks of parmigiana cheese today. Mrs. Gene vacuum packed them to rest for about three weeks in the refrigrator to let the smoke penetrate.
It's easy to do. Put the cheese in the freezer about thirty minutes before smoking. Fill a cake pan with ice cubes, then put a grate on the pan. A cookie cooling grate is perfect. I use our Green Egg, but just about any cooker will do. The smoke is from pellets burning in a stainless steel smoking tray for pellets, (Amazon). Three to four hours of smoke, I like three. Bring inside, wipe them down, vacuum pack and let rest for three weeks. Another wipe down when opened, enjoy!
Smoked parmigiana is THE best cheese of all.
