Hard cheeses, such as farmhouse cheddar, gouda, colby, monterey jack and parmesan, get better with age. This kit allows you to add a red wax coating to your homemade cheeses that locks out mold and other contaminants and preserves the cheeses' fresh, moist texture. Waxed cheese stays fresher longer and makes a thoughtful and professional-looking gift. Recommended for use when making hard cheeses with our Deluxe Cheese Making Kit.
