I'd love to know how it's done. Obviously it hasn't been heated. Maybe Nitrogen packed.

The cheese is made in Australia...say no more!

Cheddar can last for years sitting on the open shelf of an aging room so would it need anything other than an air tight can?

I think that would be with the rind intact. What I saw in the picture and out of the can had no rind.

I would think that without processing of some sort it would get moldy at the very least, but I just don't know. It could be nitrogen packed. N2 packing would stop mold I would think. Even mold needs O2 to survive. Of course it could be irradiated too. That would kill anything and wouldn't need an inert atmosphere, it's also a cold process.

I've been canning since I was knee high to a grasshopper and I wouldn't know how to do it without the cheese separating and getting yucky. It would be OK for cooking, but you wouldn't want to slice it for crackers.

It'll give me something to contemplate as I watch the snow slowly envelop our home.

Don't forget to cut the mold off --- worked well for Mr. Fawlty.
