It helps prevent unwanted mold growth and retains moisture while cheese is aged.

Never leave melting wax unattended. Wax can explode at high temperatures. Heat wax to 210ºF. Wax can be brushed onto a dried and chilled cheese with a natural bristle brush (anything synthetic will melt), or you can very carefully dip your cheese into the wax pot one side at a time (it can get very slippery). Two thin coats are preferable to one thick coat. Be sure to fill up any air spaces as mold needs air to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you are ready to eat your cheese, the wax is simply peeled off and can be strained through Butter Muslin to be reused over and over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaxing Store Bought Cheese\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWow, wax is flying off the shelf here! Many people are trying to prepare for a different type of future. Here is our short explanation of waxing store bought cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually cheese bought in the grocery store is an already aged to perfection finished product. Waxing it in small pieces may cause some problems. If a cheese is not turned on a regular basis gravity will cause all the moisture to fall to the bottom causing a mushy mess under the wax. We would suggest you buy whole wheels or make your own cheeses and after waxing them, turn over at least once a week to prevent problems. We also suggest you air dry your cheese for 2-3 days prior to waxing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA formulation of paraffin and microcrystalline wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFood grade coloring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStore in cool place, away from high heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew England Cheesemaking Supply Company\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"allergens\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNo\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAllergens\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDescription Of Components\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTree Nuts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSesame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMilk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEggs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrustaceans\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShellfish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriticale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMustard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSulfites\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"New England Cheesemaking Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42134627942654,"sku":"WAXRED1","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/5216\/0254\/products\/red-cheese-wax_1024x1024_765a2c1f-ad7c-4800-9808-b642944dc7d5.jpg?v=1638558331","url":"https:\/\/bacchusandbarleycorn.shop\/products\/red-cheese-wax-1-lb","provider":"Bacchusandbarleycorn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
