You really, really, really need to get your hands (and mouth) around some of Rogue Creamery's Smokey Blue. I use it in my smoked blue cheesecake and it really IS TDF.
One of my customers here made a smoked swiss, except he over-smoked it and there is a plasticine quality to it that I find disturbing, but the addition of salt helps a great deal.
oh yeah!!! girlie, i've had rogue's smoky blue and it's really fabulous!
smoked swiss and other smoked cheeses can really go awry when not done well. it's just too delicate of a balance.
while it's not smoked, have you had humboldt fog? it's reeeally good too. : D
