[pct-l] Cheese

[steve_peterson at sbcglobal.net (Steve Peterson)]

Last fall I sent Tillamook cheddar cheese to Muir Trail Ranch (3 weeks in 
transit) during a hottish spell, then hiked with it for about a week. Not much 
separation and definitely didn't spoil. Nights were cool, though, which helped, 
I'm sure. I used multiple 8 oz packages and kept the original packages sealed 
until I needed to break one open. The opened ones stayed good for two-three days 
(which is how long I took to eat one). I prefer the extra sharp.
