Oh wow!!!

And here I thought I was coming in to see regular swiss cheese!

Not only is that beautiful looking but has to taste amazing

I mean pepperoni, jalapenos, red peppers and pistachios?
That's one hell of an interesting and tantalizing flavor combo!

[Scarbelly]

Wow those are beautiful - can I have one

Thats is some nice smoked cheese.

Where did you find the rounds at?

[Broke @ss Cooker]

Knowing Deb she made it she loves doing that stuff always off the hook! She makes all kinds of cheese.

[Fishawn]

........

I can only imagine how good that is..

[barkonbutts]

Now I would cut cheese!! That looks mighty fine!!

[curious aardvark]

frigging awesome - and yeah she definitely made it (writing a cheese making book and everything) :-)

So was it smoked as well ?

And how easy is it to make a big cheese like that ? what sort of maturing conditions do you need and for how long ?

'cos looking at those I'm tempted to go buy a bucketload of milk and do some more cheese :-)

[HawgHeaven]

Mom, you rock!! That looks amazing!!

[Fired Up]

Those are gorgeous cheeses, awesome job!

[rbranstner]

That looks awesome. I'm dying to find out for sure if she made these or not. I won't be surprised one bit if she did. I hope she shares the recipe.

Alright... tell us how to do it.....

[DeejayDebi]

Nope these will age in the cheese/sausage cave for about 6 to 8 months then I will probably smoke it if it gets that far. I will have to watch my cave very closely everyone is wanting the steal these babies. Those are 4.5 pound wheels.

Holy shit! I must have missed this one while on the road. That looks awesome......!
