Storing Cheese

Source of Recipe

List of 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.
