Waxin'

Originally uploaded by Whittled Down

We're working on our first batch of hard cheese in about a year, and this is the first time we're using cheese wax to age it. This is a goat milk cheddar made with milk from our goat share. After the waxing, we will keep the cheese in our "cave" (minifridge set to 55 degrees) for 4 weeks or more. Then, hopefully, we'll have something resembling cheddar.
