hard cheese only, moisure less than 40%

Will this work on a moose, or your sister?

You don’t need need wax, just cut off the mold and eat it. Wastes some cheese but better than starving

It’s a desert topping.

No, it’s a floor wax!

[Osage Orange]

Ear wax is on sale...

I believe Joe Biden is being preserved this way as we speak, it seems like the democrats dipped him just after the Obamavirus, maybe they only did 2 layers because it only seems to have been partially effective. He looks wax covered, is very very cheesy, but seems to be rotting nevertheless.

I made parmesan cheese (12 oz. rounds)once a week for a year. I didn’t wax the first one I made. By the time it aged it was so hard you could neither cut it nor grate it.

I waxed the rest and got some really great cheese. The trick to waxing is getting the right temperature. Too hot and it runs off. Too cool and mold will form under it. Cutting away mold (and cheese) on cheese you have put a lot of work on and stored for a year is not a trifle.

If I ever find time to make it again I will hot wax the first layer and cooler secondary layers.

Spring time grass is soon here and I am surrounded by dairy cows. Maybe I just talked myself into it

Why cut it off. Moldy cheese is expensive. Stilton for example.

[dfwgator]

What about Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

You dont want any of that if there is mold on it.

[Cold Heart]

Not the same mold. The Stiltons and other blue cheeses are inoculated internally with a specific mold that tastes good. Other cheese have their rinds inoculated with desirable mold. The mold that comes from your refrigerator are usually not desirable and can taint the flavor of the cheese all the way through eventually.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

I stand corrected: Leisure Suit Larry 7 has the recipe: “beaver milk from a Venezuelan beaver, a pinch of salt, rennet, lime juice substitute and a hint of mold”

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

You don’t say. I had no idea.

Give it to Bernie he’ll eat anything. He will even stand in line for it.
