Cheese wax is a specially formulated wax that is used to coat and preserve hard cheeses during the aging process.<\/strong> It creates an airtight seal around the cheese<\/a>, preventing mold growth, retaining moisture, and allowing the cheese to develop its characteristic textures and flavors over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cheese wax is made from paraffin wax<\/strong> that has been blended with other waxes and oils to make it flexible and durable enough to coat cheese without cracking. It comes in a variety of colors like red, yellow, black,<\/strong> and sometimes even festive shades for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wax color carries no specific meaning in terms of the type or quality of cheese. Cheesemakers select wax colors largely based on aesthetics and branding.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
