Blended Waxes Inc. Cheesemaking Wax Block - Premium Food Grade Wax, Can Be Used For A Variety Of Cheese Types, Red, 1 Block

We bought a lot of cheese when we were in Wisconsin and I wanted to make the blocks smaller. So I used this wax to seal the cut ends of the already waxed loaves of cheese. It worked great. The wax melts under low heat. It coated well. Still working on clean up but I used a pot I don’t mind throwing away. Excellent product.

I smoked various cheeses to give as Christmas presents. I ordered tis wax to preserve the cheese. In a double boiler it melted very easily. I chose to brush it on the cheese with a paint brush rather than dipping. The wax cooled very quickly on the cheese and it looked beautiful. My friends and family were quite impressed. I did have a slightly hard time cutting off a small chunk to put in my double boiler, I didn't want to melt the whole block, but my husband came to the rescue. It is worth the money and I will definitely purchase again in the future.

I only did 4 stars on easy to use because it was solid for the most part (not on 1 end). Because it was solid I wasn’t able to break it in half to put in my small slow cooker to melt. Even so, I ordered a 2nd one and it’s scheduled for delivery today. I would definitely purchase this again and I can suggest this as a good product for the future.

I guess it did its job. However, I did not realize it would take about an HOUR to melt. And...make sure you do not drip the wax because it's not so easy to clean it up. I melted in a double boiler and used an Oven Bag so I could save any unused wax to use later. I dipped 6 pounds of cheese and had plenty of wax left over. Just let it cool in the Oven Bag and packed it away for later.

I have to experiment with it a bit more so far so good

Works well, perfect for what I needed it for

Easy and CHEAP way to keep cheese for long term storage

This wax really does keep your cheese fresh at room temperature for months and months. It does change the taste of the cheese because the cheese is aging while it is being stored, but, in my opinion, it changes for the good. This has been a game changer for me. We have 2 homes and I am always looking for ways to have produce and perishables available at both places without worrying about expiration dates. Between cheese wax and canning, I have found that.
