Hilmar TruSmoke®
Overview
We smoke our curds using hickory wood for our naturally smoked cheeses to deliver clean labels with no discoloration and even flavor throughout the block. Hilmar TruSmoke® natural cheeses are slowly smoked utilizing our patented technology that integrates the smoke into the curd during the manufacturing process, unlike other smoked cheeses. Smoking by using natural wood chips also allows Hilmar to create a cheese superior to both traditional and liquid smoked options, providing the added benefit of utilization across a variety of applications without any added ingredients on the label and extra food handling. Not available for export.
TruSmoke Advantages:
- Natural smoke with no added ingredients, providing a clean label
- Even flavor throughout the block via full smoke exposure
- Efficient process eliminates the need for additional handling
- Eliminates discoloration
