Generally, the harder the cheese, the longer the shelf life (less fat to go 
rancid).
Swiss, Cheddar and Parmesan, Romano all last much longer than softer 
cheeses like Ricotta, Brie, and Munster. I've heard processed cheeses have 
the longest shelf lives, but am unwilling to test this. Parmesan is a great 
condiment for most simple trail dishes.

Good luck, I loved Oregon myself.
