Taste: Great cheese flavor. Multiple types of cheese are available

Texture: Fantastic crunch.

Overall Score: Buy it if you enjoy cheese.

Notes: I’ve never been one to pack cheese on longer trips as it’s a bit heavy and you have to worry about it spoiling on multiday trips. Enter Moon Cheese. This “moisture removed” cheese offers a fantastic crunch and full cheese flavor without the weight and is shelf stable. The 1 ounce single serve pouches are great for short day hikes and the 10 ounces packs are great for multi day trips.

May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey. Cheers!
