    abstract = {Forty eight Canarian  goat  cheeses  were  smoked  using  six  different  materials;  shell  of  the almond (<I>Prunus aulcis</I>), segmented prickly pear cactus (<I>Opuntia ficus indica</I>), pine needles and wood of canary pine (<I>Pinus canariensis</I>), rose rock wood <I>(Cistus monspeliensis</I>) and heather wood <I>(Erica arborea)</I>. Cheeses were smoked at two different ripening times: 4 and 10 days, samples of 20-days-old were analyzed. Surface cheese colour was measured using a colorimeter, measuring Lightness, Croma and Hue angle, while texture characteristics were determined using the Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) obtaining five parameters for texture: fracturability, hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness and elasticity. Only Lightness was affected by the age of cheese at smoking process. Cheeses smoked with <I>Erica arborea</I> wood and <I>Pinus canariensis </I>wood were statistically the darkest, while the ones smoked with <I>Pinus canariensis</I> needle were the lightest. Almond shell and <I>Pinus canariensis</I> wood produced cheeses with the highest intensive colour whereas the products smoked with <I>Erica arborea</I> wood and <I>Pinus canariensis</I> needles were the least intensive. When a smoke produced a darker colour, the Croma was high and the Hue angle was far from yellow axis. For texture characteristic, in compression test, cheeses smoked with 10-days-old were more fracturable and hardness and less elastic than others smoked with 4-days-old while the material used for smoking only affected cohesiveness.}
