| If you buy whole wax-sealed cheese wheels, how long will they keep? Can you wrap them up and put them away for a few years? |
|
Thanks for the link. Very interesting |

Interesting stuff. OP, what cheeses were you planning to try this with? Was just going buy generic pre-waxed chedder, mozzarella, etc. Every day cheeses. Just to have something other than rice, beans and pasta. ETA: nothing expensive or crazy. I've seen cheap gouda wheels too. |

When things die down in the garden this fall, I'd like to try this as well. Cheese goes great over beans and then melted. I'll take a can of Bush's Baked Beans and put some slices of cheese on top and then heat it. Tastes good. |

Yeah I was hoping there was like 1 lb wheels I could buy and just start stocking up on my favorites since cheese is exposed the moment you open it up. |

Might try my hand at making some mild cheddar and aging it. |

Might try my hand at making some mild cheddar and aging it. well if you're storing rice and beans for some sort of preps wouldnt you rather have it taste 1000% better AND have fat as a reasonable macro percentage ? For $40 you can add 200,000 calories to your preps. Its shelf stable. I just notice people storing basically carbs (with a low but survivable protein content) but not fats. |

I know saturated fats (coconut oil, lard) are much more stable than unsaturated fats (olive oil), but I think it would be easier to start with a smaller amount and rotate. |

I have one box I use from and one split up and vacuum sealed. Its in a plastic bag in the box it comes in. The only part exposed to air is the top surface when you open it |
