Default Conserving food without a fridge

But if you think I'd eat 8 month old oil dipped cheese out of sight
of a hospital, ferget it :-)

Hi

I was a bit dubious at first but the oil didn't change at all over
time and there was only a little sediment in the bottom of the jar. I
scraped away the first few millimetres and the cheese looked and
tasted as good as new. As no air had gotten to it apart from that
disolved in the oil, it appears there was little reaction between the
two. I think perhaps wrapping the cheese in sterilized muslin might
help the cheese from breaking up in the violent motion of a yacht.

Regards

Steve
