I don't have any idea how you think that person was being disrespectful because they were not. You really owe them an apology for your attack.

Hey KATZ, Thanks for the Great Information on canning Cheese. I spent many years working in Chemical labs as a technician and your cheese canning video got my brighter side thinking. So I opened some of my books and started to research your Idea on cheese being on the Acid side. What I found is that the food industry actually uses CITRIC ACID to ACIDIFY Cheese. This is important information. As I know Citric acid is used in food. By adding Citric Acid ,,the total acidity,, of what is being preserved becomes very Acid. Just A thought to help out. I am going to try adding a little to to canning cheese project. Again Thanks for the Cheese canning video. Remember the CITRIC ACID.

I watched this a couple years ago, came back across it by random (and discovered I'd already bookmarked it, lol)...and I just love your soft-spoken, easy narration of everything, including the little mistakes and spills. It's very reassuring to know that when you make a mistake (you personally, and the impersonal "you" of the viewer attempting this), you don't have to panic, just deal with it appropriately and keep going. A fellow commenter over on Far North Bushcraft And Survival said that Lonnie (the KZreadr running the show) is like the Bob Ross of bushcraft & survival, because he has a similar laid-back, soft-spoken, "well, we have a mistake here, so let's figure out what went wrong, and then we can figure out how to fix it and make it better next time" attitude as Bob Ross, the painter. So since you have that same easy-going, carefully explained attitude...I guess that makes you the Bobbie Ross of canning cheese!

I absolutely agree with you about the Dairy board! Its so strong up here in Canada that the workers at farms that have dairy cows, even if they arent dairies, arent allowed to take milk home! It used to be that a group could buy shares in a dairy cow so they could all benefit from the raw milk, but of course, that is now illegal as well. Governments love to pass laws that only benefit their buddies. I actually hoping to buy a dairy sheep at some point as that's about all the milk we would need now that the kids are gone. At any rate Im really writing to thank you for this video as Im planning on canning some cheese soon as it cools down! I was given about 20lbs of extra sharp cheese that had just gone dated at a grocery and rather than throw it away they have a program now where it goes to farms for livestock feed. Im thinking because its extra sharp Ill grate it coarsely before I put it into the jars. We only have chickens and they get a lot of what we get from there but I can a lot and make a ton of dogfood as well. Saves us a lot of money but its a lot of work too! Im not complaining tho!

8:30 - why not just melt the cheese in a saucepan, pour it in, and screw lid on?

How did your pressure canned cheese turn out? You canned what - chunks of medium cheddar? What is the texture/taste of the finished product - and does it still melt in cooked dishes? How did you know how long to process it?

Can you melt the cheese first and then add it to the jar?

Most products that are said to not be determined safe to can is because the FDA or other federal agencies "have not done any short or long term tests on that product" !! So great to hear someone talk about this!!

I never thought I would see you can cheese! :) You are right about the 2 part spatula's... I always take them apart and run them through the dishwasher as separate pieces. Now thoughts of chili con caso are running through my head. I would have no issues using pickled hot peppers... and I always pour some of the pepper juice in the mix. The onion and garlic could be reconstituted on the stove in gently boiling water to ensure it is sterile. I really like the thought of half pints of this so there is not a open cheese to use up. Thanks so much for opening up another new world to us!

Cool video. Your attention to detail as far as preventing contamination is great! Ancient ex-labtech here😄. I would like to point out (6 years later) that foods below 4.6 can finish in a water bath, anything with a higher ph should get a minute or so of pressure. Cheese is 5.0, so it just missed the mark by a little bit. 5.0 is quite acidic, I was surprised at how low the ph is!

Thank you. With the holiday's coming up we all know that cheese is going to be on sale. I have tried freezing cream cheese and I don't like it after it's been frozen. the dairy board isn't going to like this video as much as I do! I would ask how long I can keep it but, knowing my family it won't last that long anyway :)

I am thrilled with this video as I really want to can some cheese and this gives a very detailed way to do it. I do have a couple of issues though. 1. that you wash the cheese in a chemical first. we avoid the chemical sodium laryl sulphate at all costs. dish 'soap" is not actually soap, it's SLS and water. not going to wash my food in that. 2. the plastic with the heat. anytime you degrade plastic in any way-- with heat, freezing or repeated use it gives of toxic chemicals called dioxins that are a carcinogen. that's why they tell you not to use it in the microwave. I know it's difficult to keep everything super clean without the toxic chemicals. I will though be canning me some cheese so thx for this video!

Thank you for saving the cheese. God bless you! You Have no idea just how important this is. We have moved to other country where cheese wasn’t readily available and life was seriously affected for a while until we found where to buy it. Life without cheese isn’t easy. Thank you for this!

I know what you mean! Couldn't do without cheese.

OMG, I'm gonna go stock up on cream cheese now---we go through tons and tons of cream cheese and cheddar. Even with the cheddar changing texture, we typically eat it melted on something or other, in a casserole or on tacos or what have you. Have you tried to make a sauce with the cheddar, or have you shredded any and added it to a creamy dish? I'm just wondering how it melts again, since cheddar doesn't have a good reputation for re-melting. Thanks for the video, I can't wait to can cheese! ~~Leslie

Good question

Our family are real cheese lovers and I've been debating about ways to preserve more for long term storage. Thanks for the video. Your opinion coincides with my own thoughts. I think a lot of the (experts) are too influenced by LOBBIESTS and not the needs or safety of the people. Will definitely try this soon. Love prepper A. Young women like her are the key to the future. I worry about the children. Joy

Girl, I love listening to you! I miss watching regularly. I do get my fix with older videos when they pop up. I sincerely hope you and your family are doing well. I intend to try this method for preserving cheese and cream cheese products!

I totally agree with you about the dairy industry and the not testing of the safety of home canned cheese. I'm ashamed to admit that I never even thought of this and I've been canning for years. Thank you so very much for the info and a new way of thinking about this!!

It may be the dairy lobby....but by no means are the dairy farmers reaping any great rewards. The farmers are the first to get screwed over.

Thank you so much for a great video! I have 2 questions. 1. How long is the shelf life, unopened? 2. Do you need to refrigerate the cheese when you open it? These questions are important to me. Thank you so much!

The shelf life is indefinate although I recommend rotating though your home canned foods every two or three years. Yes, it must be refrigerated when opened.

Just wondering if anyone has heard of "bog butter" people have found 2,000+ year old butter that had bean stored in peat bogs, apparently it's possibly still edible

They really don't have to go as long as 20 minutes. 10 would be fine if you're starting with impeccably clean jars. Thanks for watching.

Love this! I just canned butter, now I must try this!

When you were making the cheddar cheese I wanted to just pore the hot cheese in my mouth. Oh man I need cheese now. I think i'am going to have cheese bread for breakfast. Please let us know how long it last when you get to the last jar.

You know I actually think that you're right. There are jars on the shelves now of cheese that have been pressure.... example Old English, pimento cheese I will absolutely do more research, but I think this is fantastic!

Oh my... Shelf stable cream cheese? YES! Cream cheese is my fave and I'm so excited that you showed this! I've seen other vids on canning cheese and the end product did not look appetizing to me at all! I love the idea that this can be done without the pressure canner. I plan on canning up a bunch of this! You rock Katz! Take care :)

KATZ, It's been a long time since I first saw this video. Tonight I did it as a refresher class. Thanks. After watching the video years ago, I always wondered, if food companies can make and can cheese sauces (like Nacho Cheese,) why couldn't I can cheese myself? Question for you: How long is the cream cheese stable for in your opinion? We get opportunities to purchase restaurant size packs of cheese and other things here from the wholesalers because people are not eating out. I picked up the creamed cheese and some other cheese and was going to freeze it after bagging it in the food saver, but if I can gain freezer space and it's stable... well here I am! Thanks again.

Indefinately. Thank for watching...and for coming back to review!

I would like to know your thoughts on canning home-made cheese from fresh, raw milk.

Thank you for your videos and the time you take to explain WHY you do what you do! I've been canning for a number of years but am always looking for new items and ways to preserve our blessings!

What else can I say that others already didn't? You are so wise, so well spoken. An inspiration to follow. You do the unknown, untried and are not shy to speak your mind. (Just like another Lady from OurHalfAcreHomestead and VERY few others who are brave to try and "just do it"). A sincere thank you for ALL of your videos. I so want to try making what you are doing :-) P.S. A little off top..... with your help I successfully DID dried the mushrooms. It turned out my dehydrator wasn't true to temperatures settings even though I bought it brand new few months back.

Beautifully done

Hate chemicals, even my dog is organic but the organic cream cheese we have here causes me to get Philadelphia brand because it's texture is wrong and the flavor of our organic is bland. I even bake my own bread so we don't have all that stuff so you know I'm serious about additives. It was your videos that got me started on canning. I watched a lot of others and always came back to your canning videos. The very safest I could find and we think alike on the state of things. I even have stark raspberries planted because of your video. Down here we started spring in February. We are holding back planting the garden because of those March/April surprises but I had to get the raspberries in the ground, they were determined to grow. I can cover them in frost and we even have used a 40W bulb some years and never lost an early planting but we don't put more in than we can protect. Oh, about the cream cheese, followed your video and if the lights go out I'll think of you. Kathie

Beautiful video. You're a great teacher..thank you for this well explained tutorial!!

I never thought of cleaning the package...I'm doing cheese tonight. Mine are in 4lb bricks. I didn't think about that. I hope it all works out. I sterilized the jars. I Love this video... I used a vinegar soaked new paper towel for the rims... and boiled hot lids and rings... and BWB for 40 mins... I wanted to drain off the oil while it was melting before the lid/ring...... I am so glad I did not... the oil was still on the top as I was putting the last of the cheese to be melted and then lid and ring. THEN oil on top at the end of canning... hope this works out. I need the room in my freezer.

thanks so much for the video, we eat alot of both types of chesse, so I will be putting some up in jars. I would think that the cheddar's texture would probably be just fine if you used them in casseroles and such, probably would even notice the difference then,, thanks again, great video

I used a double boiler to melt the cheese, then did the rest the same as you did. Great video!

I love your no nonsense, common sense, fact based canning philosophy!

Could you use a microwave to melt the cheese in the jars?

Wow, this is incredible. Thank you for posting this. Very informative. We store dry goods in mason jars with O2 eaters. But we use a lot of cheese.

thanks so much for your great information. What do you think of mixing a little onion or chives with the cream cheese? then the hot water bath...It would be ready to spread on a bagel when you open the jar!

Josephine Tyree once it's canned it is shelf stable until opened...then needs refrigeration. Just like those jars of pimento cheese spread you can buy in store.

I want to try this! Thank you, glad to know you do not pressure can. I would have thought the cheese is a protein and needed pressure to preserve.

I have found, as most have ... cheese let's you know if it's old or questionable over my 70 years on this earth. Why The National Center for Home Food Preservation hasn't bothered to check this out, is anyone's guess Guess they never thought of it ... I hadn't before this video! I'm going to follow your method and find out for myself and see no reason why it might not work. Kind of like space exploration of "going where no man has gone before". Thank you for your video. Now, off to get more jars!!! Subscribed.

It's been a year since you posted this video and I know you said the cream cheese should last indefinetly. Wondering if you have tasted any recently does it still "taste"good? thanks
