Cheese Waxing by PreparednessPro.com

Supplies:
Red or Black cheese wax
Boar's Hair brush
Baskets, buckets (no lids) or cheesecloth-for storage
Hard cheese (cut into 1 pound increments)
Double Boiler
Resting Rack
Cool and dry storage area

Melt your wax in a bowl over a pan of boiling water, 200 degrees is ideal.
Dip your room cheese partially into the wax, hold it there for about 5 seconds. Than pull the cheese out of the wax and hover the cheese over the wax for 90 seconds.
Then rotate the cheese and wax a new area.
Apply 3-4 coats in this manner. Then apply on thin coat with the brush to ensure all cracks and crevices are filled.
When wax is completly cool, label the cheese and store in a cool, dry place. (I like to hang mine in cheese cloth from the ceiling of my basement.)

Rotate the position of the cheese about once a month in order to avoid cracking.
