[pct-l] Lifespan of cheese

['Sourdough' Foster]

Personal Choice. Actually only one I am personally aware of that will keep for a 
long time regardless of refrigeration is Hoop Cheese. Typically you find it in 
those good ole country stores where it has been sitting out for days and days 
and they cut off any size chunk for you that you desire. Good enough for country 
stores, good enough for my pack! :-) S'do 


Hoop cheese

 Many cheeses will last without refrigeration (like many foods found in the 
fridge).  I came across a new one tonight called 'Hoop Cheese'.  It is a Mild 
Cheddar, I bought it at Food Lion.  It does not require refrigeration, even 
after it is opened.  


  I like the taste, it is good for a mild cheddar, does not have an overly 
processed taste.

What other foods do you use that do not require refrigeration(but are usually 
found in the refigerator)?

U should put a heat lamp close by as well for those days when the temps are in 
the three digit sector. In 09 it got up to 120 in the shade! Makes the cheese 
get all greasy...fun stuff. My pepper jack lasted a good 4-5 days in that heat 
it was awesome! makes it easier to spread too!

I'm conducting my own home experiment with cheese.  I bought Laughing Cow
Original Creamy Swiss, Babybel cheeses, and Celebrity Mediterranean Goat
cheese.  They were all in the refrigerated section at Costco, but now
they're on my kitchen counter.  I opened the goat cheese yesterday and it's
in a plastic bag, as how it would be in my backpack.  The creamy swiss come
as eight individually packages in foil wrappers.  The Babybel cheeses are
wrapped in a wax coating.  I'll keep you posted on how long before the mold
sets in.

In the canned foods section at Costco, I found roast beef.  I'll be
dehydrating it soon, for a change of pace from chicken, turkey, and
shelf-ready bacon.
