I need to ship some pricey cheese to a friend in Sac, but haven't the slightest idea how this is done so the food doesn't spoil. Overnight or 2 day? Which is better, dry ice or gel packs?

Every order is packed in a thermal lined box with reusable food-friendly gel packs. The goal is for the cheese to arrive to you cool to cold. Remember, cheese cannot be frozen.

From Google>>>Either freeze fresh, soft cheeses, such as mozzarella and goat cheese, in their original packaging, or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and put that in a zipper-type storage bag before tossing it in the freezer. ... Ricotta cheese cannot be frozen very successfully.Sep 10, 2010

I have not and will never freeze my cheese.

No way in hell I'd freeze it.
No way in hell I'd freeze it. This shit's expensive!
Hmm the cheese maker's website says they ship. I wonder if it's a better deal to just leave it to the pros. They're charging $25 an lb. plus $15 S&H. I'm giving myself anxiety just thinking about ruining a perfectly good wheel of cheese by shipping to Sacramento in summer.

With gas prices the way they are I'm quite sure that would be too expensive.

Dry ice is difficult and will
Dry ice is difficult and will often freeze things you don't want froze,. plus off puts a visible gas that might make Mr. Postman unhappy.
I'd get a cheapo insulated lunch container from the drug store, put in multiple gel packs, and overnight. Or pay the cheese folks to ship it. PS they sell that cheese in Sac, maybe you can just buy her a gift certificate.

Alias, any locations you know of? He asked me to get it for him here, I figured he couldn't find it in Sac.
