Bega Canned Cheese

I asked six people to sample a can of Bega Cheese. In general all thought it tasted really good and they'd definitely recommend Bega brand cheese to family and friends. The test group consisted of a mechanical engineer, a banker, an RN, two teenage boys, and a retiree. Each taster got one small wedge. Comments noted: Removing the cheese from the can was easy, and it came out intact. There are no oily or watery fluids present. It's somewhat soft and doesn't crumble. The taste test group commented it was not too salty or sharp, but not too plain either, similar to American cheese or string cheese. Bega brand cheese is really a multi-use cheese. It can be consumed right from the can, sliced onto crackers or sandwiches, melted atop, or into, a dish. Bega cheese would be easy to bake with. The label indicates that Bega brand cheese is a good source of fat and protein. The Bega can is a very durable metal package, indicating a long shelf-life. The can is small enough to pocket. It could actually be a 'barterable', and should seriously be considered for any food reserve. Again, Bega brand canned cheese is a definite winner! Additionally, I thought the great personal service and rapid delivery from Pleasant Hill Grain remarkable. Thanks.

I don't ever write reviews but this cheese is delicious! My wife and I have a substantial emergency and survival food supply and added a case of this cheese and a case of the butter to augment things and provide variety. Temptation and curiosity got the best of us after purchasing a case of pilot bread crackers to try some. I'll blame the wife for this breach of supplies. We looked like kids munching down on forbidden fruit. Now I'll have to get 2 locks to keep the trust issues at bay. Great!!

I recently ordered a case of the Bega cheese to keep as a preparedness item for a little variety. You just never know when the next Iowa blizzard will be. I've ordered a couple of cans in the past which were to sample the cheese & we did so while camping with the nephews & nieces... nice firm texture (like Gouda), taste like mild cheddar, & keeps for a very long time. Highly recommend putting it in your rotation, along with some pilot crackers or MRE snack bread.

Years ago I was stationed in the deserts of Saudi Arabia working with their soldiers. We often shared our rations. As there was no refrigeration and no ice our fare was pretty basic. However, a great treat, enjoyed by all was pita bread and canned cheese. After leaving Arabia I searched everywhere I was stationed or visited for canned cheese. No joy! Then Kismet intervened and there it was Bega canned cheese. I ordered a case, purchased many rounds of pita bread and have been reliving the joy days of the desert. I find that the cheese is even better with beer. I will be a loyal customer as I fill the food box for camping and hunting trips.

Easy to store. One can is enough for sandwiches for four.

I am responsible to cook for mission teams in Ethiopia of approx. 25 -30 people. We work in far countrysides where we must carry in ALL of our food for 2 weeks. What a great option to add to my menus... have a treat with crackers.

Being that this was my first purchase from Pleasant Hill I was extremely pleased with their service and speed of delivery. The products (butter and cheese) are thus far not used as they're for emergency purposes. However, the temptation to try them will probably win out. They just look so inviting. Well packaged and long dated. Despite the inclement weather they had I was impressed with the speed of response I had to a question. I'm sure I will be purchasing more as I augment my "survival " cache.

Many products like this have a so-so taste. We just bought two cans in case we did not like it. Boy were we surprised. This stuff is actually good! Shelf life is a priority for us and this product fits the bill. Can't wait to make homemade Mac & cheese.

Well-packaged for shipping, delivered promptly. No dented cans at all. Cheese is quite flavorful, used it with crackers and also in sandwiches. Hopefully will maintain for some years unless the balloon goes UP...
