Wax and Wraps

Once a cheese comes out of the mould and off the press it still needs handling, and what you put around it is part of how it behaves from there. A cheese that can breathe sits differently to one held close, and the wrap you choose is really a decision about how you want to look after the wheel while it rests.

What we keep here is small and specific. The Mad Millie silver cheese wrap comes in packs of ten sheets and is the one people reach for with soft and blue styles, where you want the cheese wrapped without pressing it tight against itself. The cheese cloth stockinette net sleeve is the other approach, a stretchy open net you pull over a wheel or a truckle so it holds its shape while the surface stays open to the air. Which one you want depends entirely on the style of cheese you are making, so it is worth telling us what is in the fridge before you buy.

A practical note. Cut your wrap oversized and fold it rather than stretching a sheet to just cover. A tight sheet pulls away at the corners every time you handle the cheese and you end up doing the job twice.

Bring your questions to Laverton North or Epping. Also worth a look are cheese moulds, cheese tools and cheese making.
