It's very good cheese. My wife grew up close to there. Note that the
canning does not make it shelf stable. It must be refrigerated:

"Why is the cheese in a can?

The WSU Creamery produces NATURAL cheese. In other words, it is NOT
processed. In the 1930's, the Creamery became interested in different
ways to store cheese. Cans seemed the best option as plastic packaging
materials had not been invented and wax packaging sometimes cracked,
leading to contamination."
