The Washington State University creamery sells cheese in 30 oz cans. 
They have several varieties that can be ordered on line at 
http://www.wsu.edu/creamery/

Here is what they say in response to the question "Can I take the 
cheese with me when I go sailing?":

"We recommend storing all our cheeses under refrigeration and are not 
responsible for quality loss due to storage temperatures falling 
outside the 40-50 degrees F range. Viking based cheeses will suffer 
the most from variations in storage temperature. Cougar Gold, 
American Cheddar, and Smoky Cheddar will be less affected by improper 
storage. Since refrigeration is not always feasible, taking these 
steps will insure a better product: (1) Store the cheese below the 
waterline on the boat. The colder and more constant the temperatures 
the better. (2) Check cans periodically for bulges and rust. (3) If 
mold is present, discard the cheese."
