Someone posted a link to a retailer here in the UK that did tinned cheese, if someone else can't get it, I'll dig it out. Unless I can get some lactose free stuff, this is off the prep list for me :?

Sorry bud, it was canned bread in there.. There's a discussion viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2766 here about canned cheese, someone noted they saw some in Aldi, will have a look next time I pop in.

Other than that, seems there was interest from a few people on here about canned cheese, might be possible to get a group buy together and get some shipped maybe.

A company called Conserva De (based in France), offer canned cheese and butter. We are possibly going to do a group buy soon, as it's much cheaper to buy it in bulk.

If it's dirt cheap out there, why don't you buy a job lot and just freight it back to the UK?

Canned butter and canned cheese can be maintained for a very long time

During our research on canned butter and canned cheese we, on the one hand, came across the widely spread information of a shelf life of at least ten years and on the other hand of best before dates only amounting to 1-2 years on the manufacturer side.
Upon enquiring with one of the largest US suppliers of items for crisis provision, we received interesting information. According to this supplier, manufacturers of canned cheese or butter would not indicate longer shelf lives due to the fact alone that they in turn only get a two year guarantee on the cans from their supplier and do not want to assume any liability beyond that. The fact is that cheese pasteurised in a can should be microbiologically safe no matter when it is opened as long as the can remains closed and no oxygen gets into it.
The American food safety authorities only demand a BBD on products in the case that an acceptable shelf life study cannot be submitted which absolutely, comprehensively verifies that the product can be maintained for more than 5 years. However, the manufacturers only see a point in undertaking the respective effort for this in very few cases. The above-named US supplier as an importer of canned cheese and canned butter however, has commissioned such a study himself, paid the fees to the American USDA and without modifications passed with flying colours. Indeed they now no longer need to indicate a BBD as they were able to verify the shelf life of 5 years. Nevertheless, the university which conducted the study on behalf of the USDA also did not want to guarantee a shelf life which exceeds the five years. After all, they would then in return have to assume the respective liability.
Furthermore, in a discussion with the quality manager of a European cheese manufacturer, we found out that although they can only offer a specially produced canned cheese with a one year shelf life in line with an unbroken cooling chain, an employee recently gave a 7 year old can of cheese which he stored in his own basement to the laboratory and received certification of the microbiological, impeccable state of the cheese! The cheese tasted superb.
