It depends on the area where you live. Most of the Wal-Marts in Utah have a section for food storage. Last time I looked that is where it was. Also our local grocery store carries it as well.

Looks like they have a problem with cans getting dented by UPS. Any idea on the shelf life of this butter?

I have yet to receive a dented can.....shelf life is disputed....ranges from 12 yrs to infinite......don't know if I believe the infinite thing or not.....but I have ate some that was 5.5 yrs old.....couldn't tell it from new production.
What size can at wally world?.....cause if any store sells it....they will get it for you....never seen it there. |

Butter is such a versatile product, and a pain in the ass to make from scratch, if you have the capability. I have the capability to make my own bread and having this long term storage butter will do wonders for morale if I can make the family some toast and butter in the morning. Going to jump on a case of this.

It's the same reason I get wheat berries pre packed in super-pails.....convenience....delivered.....to the pantry....no muss no fuss....and canning butter is a pain at best.....I've never tried due to the FUBARs I've read. This however is the best I've found.....I've tried the clarified butter in the jars....it's ok for cooking.....but not as a spread.....and the little asian market here has something that they say is butter......but... .....once again....cooking it was ok....but other than that forget it.
If the power were to go out tomorrow.....I'd still be having butter biscuits a year or so from now.....

Somebody pointed out to me that the powdered milk I am storing costs about $4.17/gal.
However, I am not planning to use it now, and it has up to a 10yr shelf life. The milk at the grocery store is cheaper, but does not store that long. (Not even close) I have found cheaper powdered milk, but it just tastes like  .

We mainly use ghee to cook but also as pure calories for the stores. We are grain free normally but with the possibility of having to resort to bulk rice etc during a crisis we needed something to keep up with the calorie count that stored well and did not take up too much space. Peanut butter is another thing I try to keep some of. Roughly 15,000 calories in a 5 pound jug. We bought dried milk from Azure Standard and the stuff is hard to dissolve but it tastes like the real thing. Using warm or hot water at first then mixing with cold seems to work alright. We bought it for use in recipes but mostly it just gets used mixed in with peanut butter and a little honey as a snack. We buy butter in bulk from Azure as well and just keep it in the freezer. One of these days i am going to look at outside stores, maybe a pit or something that can keep some items cool and lots of stuff frozen in winter. |

She placed and order for more. Well, I jumped on a case of the canned butter, thanks for the heads up. I had been looking at the Danish butter at MREDepot, but this is cheaper and the cans are bigger. They already shipped it, should be here on Wednesday. I like the Melbourne cheese, especially since it is made in Australia, but to be honest, I think the Kraft (made in Bahrain) cheese has a sharper cheddar taste to it. Other than that, they are basically the same. |

My case arrived today.
EXTREMELY well packaged, 24 cans/case. (see photos) Each can is cushioned top & bottom and on all sides. No dents to any of my cans seen: 
ETA: For the curious, there is no "BEST BY DATE" stamped anywhere on the can. It simply states: "Store in a cool place" -and- "Refrigerate unused portion in a separate container" Coolest place I can think of to store this is in my ManCave.

Ghee has a pretty long shelf life at room temp. (2 - 3 months)
If you can't find butter but want to fill the gap, your local Indian food store may have it. I assume in "cool storage" conditions it could be stretched out some.

We had a big dinner and tasting early into our groups formation.....we taste tested a lot of different item meant for LTS....couple different butters.....canned meats....freeze dried entrees and fruit.....even canned gravies and breads.
The breads were good...but not feasible to buy when you can make your own.....same with the gravies. The cheese powder is good.....but salty. The powdered sour cream.....is really good mixed and chilled. freeze dried cheese....really good. The butter rocks....and we have quite a bit Crisco in cans.....store cool and dry.....we have had test cans for a couple years and its still fine. oils tend to be a bit of an issue....left unopened....they last for a few years if stored cool dry and DARK.....at least that what our research is telling us. We are looking for bullion cubes or granules.....that will keep long term. I've had the ramen noodle flavor packs go funny.....and same with the cup-o-soup mixes.....granted they keep for a long time.....but more than 4 yrs or so.....iffy. The need for fats....seems to be a common issue with LTS.....this butter takes care of some of that. We are always "in search of" different items to add variety into the menu.....cause it ain't gonna be easy. Start you herbal gardens now.....don't wait....now.....remember.....spices were currency at one time. Echo2..

OK, for shits and giggles I went ahead and broke open a can of both the butter and cheese (both Red Feather) for a taste test. Been wanting to try them out for awhile, this thread motivated me.
I've had a few cases of these sitting around at room temp for a couple of years now. Opened: 
Note the cheese is white, not orangish like many of us are used to. 
The butter is creamy with a nice consistency. 
The cheese cuts up easily. 
So how do they taste? The butter is great. It tastes far better than the stuff we usually use (Country Crock). I agree with the poster who said he'd use this stuff regularly if it wasn't so expensive. It really is very good. Again, it has a nice consistency to it and spreads easily (I put some on some bread to try it), and the taste is very pleasant. Not strong or sharp at all, very smooth. I will happily use the rest of the can this week and happily use this when the SHTF. The cheese is not as good, though I don't think it's bad. It has the consistency of the Kraft stuff you buy in the grocery store, and at first its taste reminded me of Kraft too, but after a couple of seconds I realized it was much sharper than the Kraft stuff. Not super sharp, but it does have a noticeable edge to it. Sort of a sharp cheddar type of taste - closer to cheddar than American, I think. I didn't think it was unpleasant, but I can see how others with different tastes might not like it. I will happily eat the rest of the can and also happily use it when the SHTF, I just won't be quite as happy as I will be when I'm eating the butter... So this taste test set me back about 10 bucks, but I think it's worth it. I'll be ordering more of both of these in the future, as I really think they can liven up an otherwise relatively bland SHTF diet. |

on a different note.....we use pampered chef can openers.....the kind that cuts the side of the rolled lip.
this we felt were better for after opening storage of products....I know they say to store in different container....but it will be used up rather quickly in a group enviroment.

Been wanting to try them out for awhile, this thread motivated me........ The cheese cuts up easily........ So how do they taste?................. The cheese is not as good, though I don't think it's bad. It has the consistency of the Kraft stuff you buy in the grocery store, and at first its taste reminded me of Kraft too, but after a couple of seconds I realized it was much sharper than the Kraft stuff. Not super sharp, but it does have a noticeable edge to it. Sort of a sharp cheddar type of taste - closer to cheddar than American, I think. I didn't think it was unpleasant, but I can see how others with different tastes might not like it. I will happily eat the rest of the can and also happily use it when the SHTF, I just won't be quite as happy as I will be when I'm eating the butter... So this taste test set me back about 10 bucks, but I think it's worth it. I'll be ordering more of both of therse in the future, as I really think they can liven up an otherwise relatively bland SHTF diet. I concur with your review of the cheese, but I believe the stuff I tested was branded Bega. |

OK, for shits and giggles I went ahead and broke open a can of both the butter and cheese (both Red Feather) for a taste test.

It's my understanding that the Bega and Red Feather cheeses are the same thing - literally the same cheese - just branded under different names. I'll buy either one at the best price available. |

Thanks for the taste test. The Kraft and Melbourne brand canned cheese that I bought at a local Middle Eastern grocery have the same color/texture and taste. Overall, I like the taste and so does the Mrs. |
