First Time to Wax Cheese

I melted the cheese wax in the double boiler, and dipped the cheese in. I let it cool and then dipped the other side.

I had to dip each piece at least 4 times, then, in addition, I also painted the melted wax on with a special boar-bristle brush to make the wax thick enough.

After I thought it was thick enough, I wrote a label and stuck it on with melted wax. Then did one more coat over the label.

I had purchased the cheddar and parmesan cheese for half price at Harris Teeter. The swiss didn't work at all, I won't do swiss again. But the cheddar and parmesan was easy to do.

Here is all the cheese I did at one time.
