How would you serve cheese? I am under the impression that cheese was in
fact eaten as cheese, not just integrated into foods. We generally put it
into dayboards (in fact when there is no cheese people whine), rather than
in feasts. I even felt good about it because I thought bread and cheese
were food that might be eaten in the same way we eat dayboards,
to break the fast during the middle of an active day. But I thought they
meant harder 'keepable' cheeses not soft cheeses meant for immediate
consumption... I'm confused now.

Again, what do you mean by 'processed yellow cheese'? Processed
'american' cheese? Or Cheddar, Cooper, Monterey Jack, Muenster, etc?
I've never had cheese 'dry out' but that is because we are very careful to
not put the cheeses out more than a reasonable quantity at a time so they
get gobbled up before they go soft and yucky from the heat. (That way
people don't take too much either, which stretches your protein
budget.)

'Farmer cheese' around here usually doesn't have herbs in it. I'd love to
see her documentation for herbed cheeses though, maybe we could use the
herbed farmer cheese sometimes. However, around here unless you get a deal
it's much more expensive than cheddar and muenster...
