The only "cheese" that doesn't need to be refrigerated for long-term
storage is so highly processed that it's no longer really cheese
(think of Velveeta). Even grated Parmesan cheese should be
refrigerated, lest it eventually turn green from mold.
Wax-covered cheese will last longer in the refrigerator than plastic-
covered cheese without getting moldy, but not as long as cheese in a
can. The WSU Creamery web site claims that some customers have aged
their cheese for 30 years in a can! Now that's a patient experimenter.
Cheese in a can would be a good food item for a wet cave such as Honey
Creek,

So even though this cheese is in a can, you still need to keep
it refrigerated? Sort of defeats the purpose of canned food,
doesn't it?
