Nope. I do refrigerate it after I've sliced off what I need to use. It
comes sealed in foil in a cardboard box. Looks like a brick. Use what
you need, fold the foil wrapper around the end, put it back in the box
and store it in the fridge.

I'm sure you can find Velveeta; not sure you can find a store brand. We
have different grocery stores. But really, it makes for a nice smooth
sauce. I will be trying using just a bit with "real" cheese just to see
how it turns out. Velveeta (or an equivalent) really does make a nice
creamy cheese sauce. YMMV.
