Cheesemaking wax, 150 g

Plastic wax is commonly used to coat cheeses, especially rennet cheeses and ripened cheeses. The wax we offer is a food-grade product and its high quality has been confirmed by tests. 

• Effective protection against drying out - the plastic wax forms a protective barrier on the surface of the cheese, which helps maintain the right level of moisture, preventing the cheese from drying out and losing its flavour.
• Protects against microbes - plastic wax protects the cheese against the effects of harmful micro-organisms such as moulds, preventing their growth and thus keeping the cheese fresh longer.
• Protects against contaminants - coating the cheese with plastic wax protects it against contaminants from the external environment. 
• Aesthetically pleasing appearance - the plastic wax provides the cheese with a uniform, smooth appearance that contributes to its visual appeal. Wax-coated cheese looks more appetising and professional.
• Protects against insects and rodents - the plastic wax also forms an effective protective barrier against insects and rodents that can damage the cheese. 

Cheesemaking wax is used for protecting cheese against drying out, contaminants and micro-organisms, such as mould. In addition, the wax-coated cheese takes on an aesthetically pleasing appearance, making it more visually appealing.

Plastic wax is safe for human health – it is a food product that meets certain quality standards. 

The wax is usually applied onto the cheese as a warm, liquid mass, which then hardens on contact.

Plastic wax can also be used in modelling, wood preserving, metal surface securing and pipe sealing, as well as for hairstyling.
