Cheese Making Accessories

Cheese Wax

You will need some cheese wax to cover your cheese for aging. The cheese wax will keep the cheese from drying out, and it looks good too.

Valerie has found it is best to dedicate a cheap saucepan to "waxing", and keeps her wax in the saucepan all the time, heating it till it melts as needed.

1Kg of wax will last for many cheeses. Simply dip one side of the cheese wheel into the wax, then rotate the cheese 180 degrees and dip the opposite side, turn and dip the cheese again till all sides of the wheel are covered ... allow the wax to cool and set on the cheese before laying down, and painting in the missing "hubs" of the wheel with a brush ... do not use a synthetic fibre brush, as the temperature of the wax may melt the bristles.

1Kg pack of Red Cheese Wax

Just $15.95

A little more expensive than some sites, but remember our shipping is only $8.00.

Cheese Wax Brush

You can dip your cheese wheel into cheese wax to cover the edges, so far up, but will probably need a brush to paint the centre, or hub of the wheel.

Valerie found out the hard way, that hot wax will melt the bristles of synthetic fibre brushes ... so this one has natural fibre bristles ... and is what Valerie now uses.

Sterile Jars

These sterile jars are ideal for keeping cultures in the freezer.

When you open a sachet to take out a small amount for your cheesemaking, or yoghurt making, it is easier to see just how much you are using when you use a clear jar, and the jars of course seal far better than a sachet.

3 Sterile Jars

Just $1.50

Cloth for Cheese Making - 90cm x 90cm.

100% natural muslin. Excellent for all your cheese making needs.

For cheese making, one of the most important things is to have is a good cloth to drain the curds and whey. You do not want to use just any cloth, as most have been dyed and/or exposed to various harmful chemicals. You must use a loose weave cloth, that has not been bleached or dyed, that is also strong enough to be washed and used again.

The butter muslin we have located for you is excellent for all your cheese making needs and can be used many times before it needs to be replaced.
