I do love cheese. Has anyone tried any freeze dried cheese ?
Also wondering if anyone in Canada has found anything like this in the grocery shelves

Or maybe someone has a solution for cheese in preparedness ?

I can cheddar cheese and this is how I do it.
Get the water bath canner, (depending on how many jars you do at one time you can use a smaller pot with lid) that you are going to can it in.
Set sterilized wide mouth jars in there and fill with hot water to about 1/2 up the jars. If you need more you can always add. Its easier to add then take out. 😉
Cut cheese into small pieces and put in the sterilized jars, let that melt. When melted, add more.
Don't put lid on canner while cheese is melting.It would cause condensation to drip into the jars of cheese.
I leave about an inch from the top of jars with melted cheese.
Seal jars with lids, you have already set in hot water.
Put canner lid on and when comes to a boil I time it for 40 mins..
Some says less but I like that safety factor.
For references it takes about 10 lbs for a doz. pints jars. Tho I used 1/2 pints jars now. Less to have open if shtf and no fridge.
I have been doing this for sometime now and plan on keeping on doing it.
I think I am still alive....let me check.... 😉
Ouch ...dang that hurt!

let me get this straight, so you have melted cheese inside the mason jar, sort of like a spread ?
maybe you can get a photo of a jar ?
I made cheese the traditional way, separating curds from the whey. I guess I learned that you gotta put a bunch of salt in it to dry it out, also... when you press it, switch the cloth every five or ten minutes for a half an hour to make sure it's solid, also to add weight gently or a layer will build up on the outside that will seal the moisture inside and cause the cheese to go bad. Ah I don't even know if I can age this stuff, it was good though!

Yes, you understand correctly, its melted in the jar then canned.
After canning it returns to its hard form. That is why it's important to use a wide mouth jar.
Yes have a photo but no way to attach it here as it must be on a server first, its on my puter.
I am on dial up so don't use a server to load pixs up to, as most are heavy with scripts.

i use to put chesse in freezer, no problem
There are also you tube videos on canning cheese like Oldtimegardener does, Bexar Prepper does it. A store here sells the canned cheese you are posting, Sam's oriental store so check a local Asian store.
