Description

Cheese wax is a simple, reliable way to protect your homemade cheese during aging. It seals in moisture, prevents mold growth, and keeps each wheel aging evenly. A 1 lb. brick coats about 12–20 cheeses when brushed on. If you prefer dipping, plan on using a 5 lb. block for full coverage. This wax stays pliable instead of turning brittle, so it holds up well during long aging periods. Store it in a cool place, away from high heat, and it will keep indefinitely.

Cheese wax also has a second job on the homestead. When melted and cooled on poultry, it helps remove fine down feathers quickly and cleanly—simply dip the bird into the warm wax, chill it in cold water, then peel the wax away.

Specs

  • Ingredients: Formulation of paraffin and microcrystalline wax
  • Features: 1 lb. bricks; reusable; pliable and will not become brittle
  • Storage Instructions: Store in cool place, away from any high heat; will keep indefinitely
  • Directions: For best results, melt the wax in a double boiler to avoid direct flame. Never leave melting wax unattended, as wax can ignite at high temperatures. Heat the wax to 210ºF. Apply the wax to dried, chilled cheese using a natural bristle brush (synthetic brushes may melt), or carefully dip the cheese one side at a time. Two thin coats are recommended rather than one thick coat. Be sure to fill any air gaps, as mold requires air to grow. Handle carefully, as waxed cheese can become slippery during the process.
