Almost all of our cold pack products are made from cheese that was fully pasteurized. Only our swiss cheese based products are made from cheese that was heat treated to 148°, but not pasteurized. We age all of those cheeses for at least 60 days and then blend them with other ingredients to create our cheese spreads without the aid of heat. Q. Do Owl’s Nest® Cheese products need to be refrigerated? A. Owl’s Nest® Cheese items should be kept refrigerated before opening, and should go back in the refrigerator after each use. Q.

However, freezing can make the texture slightly crumbly after thawing. Also, be aware that the cups become more brittle when frozen, and can crack if bumped. Q. How long will the cheese spread stay fresh in my refrigerator after I have opened the container? A. Under normal conditions, Owl’s Nest® cheese spread products will retain freshness for approximately 60 days after the product is opened. Q. Are the Owl’s Nest® cheese spread products heat processed?
