Washington State University has been making and selling cheese in a can for years. Highly sought after and fetching a premium price on the market, Cougar Gold is a well aged cheddar type cheese (the real thing, not the pasturized processed stuff) that stores excellently if kept in moderately well controlled temperature range, and unopened. Any Cougar alumnist worth his salt will keep a couple tins around for those rare Rose Bowl parties that Wazoo makes it into. It ain't cheap.
