Storing Cheese

Ingredients

• Hard cheeses can be stored by dipping them in melted paraffin.
• Remove any wrapping from the cheese. Melt in paraffin in an old
• pan. Dip the cheese in the melted stuff or get a paint brush and
• paint the paraffin on the cheese. Allow the paraffin to dry
• completely, and dip again. After about 4 coats of paraffin, you
• may add a layer of cheese cloth for extra protection. Continue
• dipping and drying until the parafin has formed a smooth, thick,
• bubble free surface. Store cheeses that have been coated in paraffin
• in the coolest spot you can find. Cheese stored this way will last
• almost indefinitely. If paraffin gets cracked or anything just
• re-coat with melted paraffin.
