Jim: One of my favorite cheeses caught me by surprise: smoked swiss. Most swiss's are pasty and bland, but a good swiss has a tart, but light, bite to it. The smoked flavor rounded out the bite and made it a wonderful cheese for almost any cheese/cracker/X combination. I think either a smoked swiss with RS-hab or a non-smoked swiss with Smoked RS-hab would be spectacular. Imagine melting it on nachos or layering slices of cheese and pepperoni on a cracker... or (for some) dumping a pile of M2W Smoked RS-hab powder onto a slice of similarlarly flavored aged swiss... The possibilities are endless, but I vote (initially) for a RS/Swiss/smoke combo, regardless of which (or both) of the components are smoked. Russ -----Original Message----- From: jim@wildpepper.com I was contacted by a cheese maker here in Indiana. It seems that I'm going to help them develop a couple of pepper cheeses. #1 is going to be a chipotle/chedder. #2 is a Red Savina(R)/pepper jack. Any other suggestions? -Jim C Mild to Wild
