$29 for the same on the website, and that's before shipping. A nice dry cheese to go with some of the nice wines ordered earlier...

Can anyone tell us how long this will last and how to store it? Whats the eating window?

Edit: $13+ for shipping from the website makes this a great deal

(I hate Jack, Jock! I hate 'em!)

Jack. Why'd it have to be Jack?

I haven't had this, but it sounds interesting enough to try. In for one only this time.

delicious! this made the last wootoff for me. re-upping my supply

In for one! Hope it tastes good! Does this need to be refrigerated?

This is very good cheese and vs from the website it's a good deal, just overall seems pricey to me. Still have 2/3rds of one left. Want to pull the trigger but I can justify it??? Argh, dilemma, dilemma

I concur. bring on the shrooms.

Just so you know this doesn't taste like any other jack I have had, because it has been dry aged the outside is firmer and almost has a parmigiano reggiano flavor while the inside is like an aged white cheddar.

The last time I bought woot cheese I forgot to warn my husband and it sat in our foyer for two weeks while I was out of town.....

Did not open that package....

This is a serious question despite the huge funny factor.

That's when I first purchased this cheese, and it's excellent! I still have some left that has been kept vacuum sealed, and it's still as tasty as the day I opened it. I would definitely recommend.

Aged cheese of any kind brings out a completely different flavor and texture. This is quite the bargain, considering plain ol' store-bought loaf of Tillamook on sale is about $10. I am guessing this item is several notches (nachos? ;-) above garden variety.

Question: are wedges vacuum sealed? Sending this to relatives.

[edit] nevermind.

Hmmm went from international Gold in 1998 to Best at a State Fair in 2006

*Auto-Buy* We can't get enough of this dry cheese. Send more.

Since this isn't alcoholic, do all the disclaimers regarding receipt (eg, you need to have ID, not be drunk, be over 21 etc) still apply?

^ ^ What UncleFroG said. These keep beautifully and the local upscale grocer doesn't stock a dozen other, similar cheeses.

I LOVE THIS CHEESE. I served it at our Super Bowl party and had tons of questions about what kind of cheese it was and where I got it. It's awesome diced up on salads, too.

Nope... Your good to go.

This lagging server makes it very hard to get a first sucker Woot! That is half the fun!

I'll give it a try, this is my first buy from wine.Woot, and I figured I couldn't go wrong with cheese! Now all I need is the vinegar I saw last woot-off and I'm all set!

I don't think it really needs to be refrigerated before opening as long as it's not exposed to extreme heat. It's shipped via SmartPost, that's worth 2 weeks in the foyer right there!

In for 3 and used my last @jumbowoot coupon

I loved this stuff last time. To me, it tastes most like a dense Manchego, even if it is the wrong animal.

Bought two. (Sorry I missed the bacon earlier. Speaking as a ticket-holding attendee of Baconfest Chicago 2012.) But I forgot to check on shipping. Has Vella improved its shipping speed and packaging quality since The Great Squishy Jack Fubar of Aught Eleven?

In for one....always a sucker for the cheese. Even if it is Jack.

This is a great cheese, especially paired with a nice spicy fruit forward Zinfandel.

I bought a small package of this about two and half years ago. It was int he back of the fridge until a month ago when i finally decided to open it. It was still great, but it was in the original shrink wrapped package. I still have some left and it is in great shape after being opened for a month.

Want - but Husband would kill me for spending $20 on cheese.

I picked up some truffle butter around Thanksgiving and gifted a few of the packs. I told a co-worker how wonderful it was and now she wants some as well. I have definitely been waiting for it to make a reappearance so I could stock back up and also make a few friends very happy.

In for three. Will probably last me three weeks.

In for one. My very first wine.woot

Just me or did anyone not get an order confirmation e-mail for this woot? I checked my account and said I got one but haven't received an e-mail yet...

It's two pounds. With shipping on one that's only $12.50 a pound, which is a decent price for quality cheese (twice the price of Kraft Colby).
