The store where I buy some cultures and other cheese stuff started carrying that cheese coating that Herman was talking about. I think it’s the same thing anyway. The store is picking up on several cultures and other cheese supplies. They have more than one cheese customer. The now do beer, cheese, and wine supplies. They are stocking more cultures now too. I like to support the local store if possible.

Good idea, they may expand their stock with more customers

Well, I hope you find the coating as usefull as I do.
I am using the yellow as well as the transparent coating:
With the yellow I apply two layers on Gouda-like cheeses, when the second layer is still wet, I put a label on it with name of the cheese and date and then I finish it with a third transparent layer.
On cheeses like Cabra al Vino I only use the transparent.
I’m sure you’ll share your experiences with us

I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you had but I thought it was. I think mine is white in the jar, but it may be transparent when I paint it on. A label is a good idea

Any labels on the jar? One other (and very convenient) behaviour of my coating: When I’m finished “painting” my cheese, the paintbrush it very easy to clean with warm water.

Wax is so much trouble when it sticks in the brush. I like the brush cleaning theory.

should not be a problem, it melts quickly in hot water, just hold the brush under hot water tap.

Do that and you end up with wax in your drain pipe.  Better to pour hot (boiling) water over it and let it run out in a more harmless location.

I don’t put the wax in the drain. I also don’t pour the old brine down the drain. We have septic tank and it kills the bacteria in there. One time my husband put icing down the drain, but he didn’t know that it was made from Crisco and sugar. I have been putting the wax brush in a ziplock bag and just reusing it.

It does make a differance based on ones plumbing, forgot their are some sensitive systems out their. I guess a bucket with boiling water would be the best and let it presipitate out.
