Cream Wax Coating

I have mold issues in my “cave”. I’ve used the cream wax on the last two wheels of cheese I’ve made, and so far, no mold! I also like the ease of application, the fact that it washes off counters and the brush with warm water and soap, and that I can now put a label on the cheese (Kind, date made). It’s great!

I like this cream wax. It was easy to place onto my cheese. Super Easy to clean up. Down Fall was the price as it does not go very far when you make cheese everyday. It will cover about 8 or 10 cheeses making this product around 3 to 4 dollars per cheese. NOTE FROM STEVE/TheCheeseMaker: The yield should be much higher. Try using a light coating, then allow to dry thoroughly and apply another light coating. Applying too thick a coating can take much longer to dry and is not needed. Unlike melted wax covering, this product only needs to be applied very lightly in two thin coats.

I bought the red and yellow cream wax and have used the yellow so far. It went on easily and looks great. I haven't yet tasted the cheese, but it appears too be well sealed. My hope is that it ages well since my wine frig otherwise isn't an ideal aging environment.

great product for home cheese maker to protect cheese from unwanted mould easy to use

I love using this product instead if waxing. It's easier to apply and allows the cheese to breathe giving it an artisanal texture and complexities. It is difficult to remove but then again you don't eat the rind on a cloth bound either.

I like this product but I do think there should be better instructions. I was able to understand better how to use it but I had to watch a you tube video. Note from Steve/TheCheeseMaker: Thanks Judy. We will update and add more instructions to our instruction sheet.

Cream Wax has made my cheese making experience a pleasure - No mold when aging. Fabulous product.

The Cream wax is very easy to use. Just paint it on your cheese after it has air dried to prevent unwanted mold. Cleans up with water.

I love this product. So much easier than wax and nowhere near as messy. Easy clean up with warm water.

I was having trouble keeping my hard cheeses from drying out and getting unwanted mold. This product is easy to use, must brush on, a few coats (let each coat dry between applications) to get a good rind. This product forms a flexible rind, which is edible (& pretty tasteless), it effectively excludes air, keeps moisture in, and somewhat inhibits mold growth if applied correctly. The rind is flexible, unlike wax, it doesn't crack in ageing. Helps improve quality of end product a lot if you age cheeses under less than ideal conditions (like in a home frig).
