Where there’s smoke there’s flavour
A unique methodology and a prototype machine is used to extract the very best smoked flavour from native woods such as Manuka and Pohutukawa (the latter all from trees felled during the massive slips at Matata in 2004, as Pohutukawa is otherwise a protected tree).
Wholesmoked uses a variety of cheese types, including Gouda, Edam, Havarti and some lesser-known such as soft Cheshire. And there is also a choice of Parmesan, Romano, Cheese made with vegetarian rennets and a wide range of cheddars.
The smoking process is labour intensive where each block of cheese is handled from start to finish, and it’s the finishing touch that create the difference, right down to dipping each cheese into mineral wax to ensure they stay soft, and for ease of handling.

Sundried Tomato
Smoked Sundried tomato has three times the flavour intensity of normal sundried tomatoes. Cut finely or dice to enhance any type of salad, quiche, bacon & egg pie, soups and stews. Infuse chopped sundried tomato into a good oil i.e. rice bran, pure olive oil, finely dice and add to pizza as it cools.
Peppercorns
Aroma & flavour. Freshly ground onto to any fried, grilled, BBQ, meats or fish will give off wonderful pungent pepper and subtle smoke aroma. Use to enhance soups, sauces, stock, bacon & eggs and most hot foods.
Gourmet Bacon
We also produce Gourmet Quality Bacon and Hams with a herbaly enhanced curing brine and smoked using pre 70s methodology with Pohutukawa & Manuka woods.
Manuka smoke essence
A water based, non-chemical Manuka smoke essence with many potential uses for both imaginative foodies and the food manufacturing is produced as well. Smoke used in the cheese processing is drawn through pure water and distilled to produce an essence that is used in a variety ways: infused with garlic or sundried tomatoes, or in marinating liquids.
