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.
