For years we've had people ask us about real, shelf-stable, storable cheese, and we've had to turn them away. Now you can have a great tasting, rich, high-quality canned cheese . . . and who cares if the electricity goes off?
For those of you familiar with the Kraft canned cheese, you will be real happy with this new cheese from Bega, which we have now private labeled under our Red Feather name - also made in Australia. Although the Kraft cheese is called cheddar too, most of our customers say it reminds them more of a white American cheese than a cheddar, whereas the Bega cheese is sharper in flavor and does not have the rubbery texture that Kraft is known for.
Bega Cheese, who has actually been making cheese and only cheese much longer than Kraft - since 1899, has found a way to make a real cheese in a can with the same indefinitely shelf life taste much better than the Kraft cheese (see below for more on the company and the production of this great product). Produced in a can and sold in Australia for more than 50 years, Bega is a household name in many parts of the world. You'll first notice that it is yellow like a cheddar cheese should be. Second, you'll be pleased with the sharper cheddar flavor. And lastly, you'll find that the texture is better too - easier to cut, grate and slice than the Kraft, which tends to crumble when you try to cut it thin.
Most importantly, because Kraft is moving their production facility to Saudi Arabia instead of Australia, the Kraft cheese will become much more expensive in the coming months. But since we can use our extra dairy quota left over from the Red Feather Canned Butter that we already import, we're able to deliver the Bega Cheese under the our Red Feather Brand name to you for a much lower price! Give some a try - you will be pleased, we guarantee it. If you are not happy with it, we will gladly refund 100% of your purchase price.

One product that has always been missing from food storage programs is been real CHEESE. It's true that, if you have a wine cellar, you can buy a waxed wheel of cheese and store it (i.e. age it) for years. That's a bit expensive and unwieldy, but if you are doing well enough to own a wine cellar, you probably can afford a 50 lb wheel of cheese - and you won't mind throwing about half of it away when it molds over after you cut it open.
For those of us with more modest means, we now have real Bega /Red Feather Cheddar Cheese - in a can! Its technical name is "Processed Cheddar Cheese." That's that name they have to give it legally because it wasn't "naturally" produced by a Wisconsin cheese master. But from the ingredients and from the TASTE, you'll believe it is honest-to-Goodness real Wisconsin-made cheese! Make no mistake, this isn't liquid or semi-solid cheese - it is real cheddar cheese like you would expect to find in a deli case at your local grocery store.
It's just plain delicious.
Powdered and Freeze Dried cheese products have been available for years, and they are actually not too bad for some applications. They make an excellent sauce, dip or spread, but there's just something not right about spreading cheese on your sandwich like it was peanut butter. For some things, there is no substitute for the real thing...

Specially packed for ballantyne foods PTY. LTD. Melbourne, Australia.
NOTE: Minor denting that will not affect shelf life may occur with some cans during transit no matter how well we pack them. Please let us know if any of your canned foods have dents that will affect the shelf life and you won’t be refrigerating soon as we may need to make a UPS claim.
STORE IN A COOL PLACE
We’ve leaned that the best way to serve it is if you open both ends of the can and then push out the 3 1/4" x 1 3/4" mini-wheel of cheese. You’ll find that it doesn’t sag, it doesn't quiver and it doesn't run – it is solid cheese!
This is real cheese that can be grated like any other cheese. It melts, it can be sliced into thin slices for sandwiches, pizzas, lasagna or meat loaf, and it behaves just like any other deli-bought cheese - it's great for grilled cheese sandwiches, fantastic omelets or just by the slice.
Because we bring this in by the container about every 45 days with the Canned Butter, you’ll always be guaranteed to receive fresh product any time you order. Bega Cheese complies completely with both FDA and USDA requirements and is even Halal certified. This cheese has no expiration date according to the spec provided by Bega and will store for many years. No one is sure for exactly how many - they've never tested it just for longevity. It's packaged this way in Australia and in the Middle East for folks who don't have refrigeration, like many in the outback or in third world countries. The manufacturer is confident it will last "indefinitely". Since it's in a sterile environment, air can't circulate so germs can't get to it - there's no reason that it can't store indefinitely. Just keep it as cool as you can, but protect it from freezing as with any other cheese. Once you open a can, it's best to refrigerate any leftovers, though it will most likely last a few more days in a zipper-locking baggie or tinfoil without refrigeration.

Supplier's Note On Shelf Life:
Canned long shelf life food has a shelf life of at least two years from the date of processing. Canned food retains its safety and nutritional value well beyond two years, but it may have some variation in quality, such as a change of color and texture. Canning is a high-heat process that renders the food commercially sterile. Food safety is not an issue in products kept on the shelf or in the pantry for long periods of time. In fact, canned food has an almost indefinite shelf life at moderate temperatures (75F and below). Canned food as old as 100 years has been found in sunken ships and it is still microbiologically safe! We don't recommend keeping long shelf life canned food for 100 years, but if the can is intact, not dented or bulging, it is edible.
With over 100 years of History, Red Feather was introduced in the United States three years ago.
 Canned food labels have tendency to peel off over time, especially if they are kept for years in your basement. In order to prevent this, put a coat of shellac over the label as soon as you get them. This way, you will always know what's in the can years later.
10/24/08 - We recently picked up some great long shelf life canned foods and they are selling even better than we expected. I decided to do a taste test today on a few of them and we're all shocked at how good they are. I opened up a can each of the bacon, turkey chunks, pork sausage and the bread. None of us liked the bread. However all the rest are awesome! I think we all like the bacon the best. There is quite a bit of full bacon strips (not dehydrated and ready to eat right out of the can) wrapped in wax paper in the can. I eat all kinds of crazy things, but Lisa, David and Loree also loved the canned turkey, canned pork sausage and the canned bacon. It surprised me how tasty and full of flavor they all are. In fact, we're all filing up on it and are having it for lunch today. The three cans of meats is more than enough food for the 4 of us. The bread isn't horrible. We all agree that it kind of tastes like molasses bread that has been in a can. I know, not a very good description, but it's the best we can do for now. The bread is moist and a little crumbly, but doesn't compare to the full, rich flavor of the other canned foods we tested. Over time, we might do taste tests on more of our canned foods, but I hope this gives you a good idea of all our long shelf life canned foods since they come from the same company.
01/16/09 - We started offering these canned foods just a few months ago and they are already among our best selling products. We stock more and more of these long shelf life canned foods every week. We have a steady, current and brand new supply and get more every week. We ship them out almost as quickly as we get them. We are also preparing one year food supplies with these items so stay tuned for that. We are also adding new canned food items every month. Even though they are moving so fast, we’re doing great on shipping times. These long shelf life canned foods ship from our warehouse in Upstate NY.

There is no expiration date on any of the Yoder’s cans because we go through the expense of doing an accelerated shelf life study on all of the products we develop. If you can prove that the shelf life is equal or great to 5 years, the USDA and FDA doesn’t require a “Best By” or “Expiration” date.
However, they do require a date of manufacture be on the can. In the case of all the Yoder’s Products we stamp the date on the bottom of the can in a Julian format. You will notice that there are two lines of numbers and letters on the bottom lid – the first one is the date. The letter you usually see is the line it was produced on, and the next 4 digits is the date. Of the 4 numbers, the first one represents the year and the next 3 numbers are the day of the year (out of 365 days).
For example, if you see something like B8336, B would be the production line the rice was assembled on (more for our tracking purposes as required by the USDA), 8 would be for 2008 and 336 would be for the 336th day of the year – or translated using the below “Day of the Year” calendar
NEW RECIPES
Recently Lisa made some very tasty food with our canned meats and canned broths and brought it in for all of us to share. Please see below a couple great recipes that had us all asking for seconds. Maybe it’s too much (or maybe not), but I would even add our canned bacon to both recipes too. Plus we also sell the big cans of spices as well as smaller spice selections such as these.
