->Storing Cheese <-

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.
