Have you guys seen this?  I'm getting a case of cheese for sure and maybe the butter too.

I suppose you found these from the canned meat link I gave in the other thread? This stuff looks really cool, and I've wanted some for a while, but haven't been able to justify it yet. Hopefully soon.

Yes I had heard about them, but could never find them.  Now I can get some!

I have a #10 can of the dehydrated butter, but it doesn't seem as nice as this stuff.

That grilled cheese looks mighty fine. :) I'm curious how they do it, because aren't the oils in both butter and cheese what would go bad before the protein? Once oils go rancid they're toxic.

So, if one's consecrated olive oil goes bad, if you use it in a blessing you could be causing them harm as opposed to healing?

My dad taught me that you should not use consecrated oil that goes rancid. I assumed this was common practice. I think you can tell by smell. If for some reason it is rancid, you should consecrate new virgin olive oil.

Saturated fats such as those found in butter and cheese are slower to go rancid than unsaturated fats. But I'll bet these are chocked full of BHT or some other antioxidants to prolong their cheesy goodness. Plus, sealing in an airtight can and storing in cool location will also slow down the rancidification process.

Oh, and Ray, where did you hear that rancid oils are toxic?

It's just that word "toxic" implies that you're gonna keel over and die a nanosecond after ingesting it. Considering that most of the stuff we eat in our overprocessed Western Diet is toxic, I'm not thinkin' that a little rancid butter is gonna kill anyone overnight. Might give you a tummy ache, though... but the fact that it smells and tastes icky probably means you won't eat much of it in the first place. Ingenious, how nature randomly built in a deterrent to eating toxic stuff, isn't it?

'Course, there's toxic and then there's TOXIC. Who knows which one that doc meant?

You're probably both right... I don't recall the context now... I just remember at the time thinking, "oh. I wasn't aware of that." 


It would probably be good to look it up.

I was wondering, can you cut the cheese if it comes in a can?

For those who may be interested the canned cheese and canned butter are available with a 21% discount at mredepot.com if you use the checkout coupon code - FLUWIKIE -. This coupon is good at least until the end of 2007 and is open to all who choose to use it.

BTW the 21% discount applies to all items at MRE Depot. The sevice and shipping are top rate and the people are a pleasure to work with.

When checking their prices be sure and enter your zip code so you'll see an accurate shipping cost otherwise you might encounter the jaw-dropping number I saw before I entered my zip.

We purchased the cheese and butter and after tasting it decided to place an additional order.

MRE Depot is in San Clemente, CA and they will let you pick up your order if you're in the area. Due to the weight of these items it's worth it to avoid shipping cost by picking up or you can increase your order so the weight exceeds 100 pounds and get a price break from UPS. (I didn't do either of the above and still feel I got a great deal.)

Thanks for the advice. My mom said that some place was offering a discount, but she couldn't remember the URL, an she thought it was only to the end of 2006. I tried a can of each, and it's actually good stuff.
BTW, if you want to try the stuff, I recommend getting a dented can from the place mentioned at the top of the thread. Since it's dented, they sell it really cheap.
Now I know where to buy cases of the stuff, though.

Bumping this thread in case someone is wondering what to get that special someone (such as Mirk) for Christmas.

I tried a can last month. We made grilled cheese sandwiches and then the next day I used the remaining cheese for omelettes. It was not bad.

I found that I liked the cheese better as it mellowed overnight into leftovers. At first it was a bit strong. I adore the butter though.

I've got a can of the butter upstairs that I have not tried yet.

so how many grilled cheese sandwiches and or omelettes can I expect to create from the little cheese wheels? and how well does it store once opened? (I jest of course, because having cheese that must be stored once open is just a theory around my hubby!)

The other site, MREDepot, has another brand of storeable australian cheese. It doesn't melt as well as the Kraft stuff, but it does taste more strongly of cheddar.
Cheese was something I really wanted in my food storage. I could live without it if I wanted to, but I don't want to have to.
My two year old is a chees-aholic. His favorite so far is mozzarella. I know that just shocks you cheese connoisseurs out there.

hey, Mozzarella is an essential cheese. sort of a food group unto itself.

most italian dishes require some and I think it's great on sandwiches.

I made four grilled cheese sandwiches and then probably five or six eggs for the omlettes.

RATS... I posted about this but it didn't show up...  I don't have the mental capacity today to remember what I wrote yesterday...

So I will just say, we have quite a bit of both, along with other items to make the bulk food "nicer" to eat... have learned to store the butter in jars for ourselves (it's a lot cheaper...) and we like all the choices out there.  Both butter and cheese make bulk food more palatable...

I think these items are GREAT!
