Before we had to use ordinary paraffin wax because that was the ONLY thing available to us. We were delighted to find this red cheese wax here on desertcart. Also thought the price was decent. It goes a long way. I keep it in a small stoneware crock and heat it when i need it. I dont make cheese as often as some folks so i just started with 3 blocks so i would have it. I have actually only put 2 in the crock so far. It melts well and coats the cheese nicely. Now my cheese is still aging so i cant say for sure how well it comes off, but i do believe it will be a breeze. :) So far i really like this wax. if ia ever have any negative opinions on it i will post them onto this. :) ALSO wax instructions say when you remove the wax from the cheese you can reuse it. :) Review: I love the quality of the wax and how it melted ... - I love the quality of the wax and how it melted and set. I prefer the dipping method to get a nice solid seal and to flash burn any possible mold or bacteria that you don't want on your cheese. It definitely takes a bit more was to do it that way and you need to get the wax around 230 degrees and make sure your chunks are a size to give you room to hold on safely without dropping it in the hot wax, touching your fingers in the wax when dipping or dropping it and splattering hot wax around. It's very much worth it to use and just requires patience and careful attention to safety. :) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0064OLVFY | | Age Range Description | Adults | | Best Sellers Rank | #277,981 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #239 in Cheese Makers | | Brand | New England Cheesemaking Supply Company | | Brand Name | New England Cheesemaking Supply Company | | Container Type | bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 299 Reviews | | Item Package Weight | 0.49 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Model Number | COMINHKPR22932 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.49 Kilograms | | Part Number | COMINHKPR22932 | | Size | 1 Pound (Pack of 1) | | Unit Count | 16 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** New England Cheesemaking Supply Company - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Package Weight:** 0.49 Kilograms - **Unit Count:** 16 Ounce ## Images ![Cheese Wax 1 lb - Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OCrx8ZBDL.jpg) ![Cheese Wax 1 lb - Red - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xJb092zUL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much cheese will one pound of wax cover (4 coats each block)?** A: I did 3, 1.5 pound balls of cheese, maybe the shape has something to do with how much it will cover. **Q: Does this wax have an odor? Will it impart any odor to the cheese? Some wax such as bottle wax smells like crayons and transfers the odor.** A: I did not use this wax to coat cheese, but did extensively use this wax to seal mushroom innoculation holes in logs. I noticed no characteristic wax smell whatsoever during or after use. Having said that, the wax must have some unique odor, as my cattle dog can pick out each wax glob on the logs, and would eat them off if I allowed her to do so. When I pick up pieces of the wax, and hold them close to my nose I still can detect no odor. **Q: What ingredients are in the cheese wax?** A: That’s a good question. This consists of paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax and food-grade coloring. Thanks! **Q: can I reuse this wax?** A: That's a great question. Wax can be melted and used over and over again. Thanks! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good wax *by T***E on April 2, 2014* This is actually the 1st cheese wax i have used.

Just be sure to heat/melt slowly, preferably in a double boiler and use a clean natural bristle brush to put the wax on the cheese. Cheap synthetic brushes could melt. I use a silicone turkey baster brush and it works fine but you do need to put on two coats to properly seal the cheese. I've tried dipping the cheese but it's not worth the effort. Cheese is slippery and falls into the pot and I burn my finger tips. Use the brush method. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cheese Wax 1 lb - Red - Mesophilic Direct Set Cheese Culture, 5-Pack - Butter Muslin (Fine Cheesecloth), 1 Sq.
