Description
Protect your homemade cheese with this pliable cheese wax, designed to prevent mold growth while retaining moisture during aging. This 1 lb. brick is enough to coat approximately 12–20 cheeses when using the brushed-on technique. For the dipping method, 5 lbs. of wax is recommended. The wax remains flexible and will not become brittle, ensuring a smooth, protective coating for your cheese. Store in a cool, dry place away from high heat; when properly stored, the wax will last indefinitely.
Available in two options:
- Clear (contains no dyes or coloring)
- Red (contains food grade coloring)
Additional Use – Poultry Plucking: Quickly pluck the fine down feathers of poultry by dipping the bird into melted wax, submerging it in cold water, and then removing the wax. This multipurpose wax is a handy tool for both cheesemaking and homestead tasks.
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.
