For the first time in our history of offering all kinds of shelf stable foods for disaster preparedness, we have found a canned cheese made by Kraft, one of the biggest and best names in the industry, which is only available in the Middle East and Australia. One product that has always been missing from food storage programs is been real CHEESE.
It's true that, if you have a wine cellar, you can buy a waxed wheel of cheese and store it (i.e. age it) for years. That's a bit expensive and unwieldy, but if you are doing well enough to own a wine cellar, you probably can afford a 50 lb wheel of cheese - and you won't mind throwing about half of it away when it molds over after you cut it open.
For those of us with more modest means, we now have real Kraft® Cheddar Cheese - in a can!!! Its technical name is "Pasteurized Processed Cheddar Cheese Product." That’s that name they have to give it legally because it wasn't "naturally" produced by a Wisconsin cheese master. But from the ingredients and from the TASTE, you'll believe it is honest-to-Goodness real Wisconsin-made cheese!
Powdered and Freeze Dried cheese products have been available for years, and they are actually not too bad for some applications. They make an excellent sauce, dip or spread, but there’s just something not right about spreading cheese on your sandwich like it was peanut butter. For some things, there is no substitute for the real thing...
Each can contains 8 Ounces of Cheese, and the cans are a little larger in diameter than a 6 oz. can of tuna and about 25% taller. There are 36 cans in a case.
