Alaska Prepper can you do this process with cheeses like Brie, camabert, Parmesan, mozzarella.?

[@patriciazepeda9618]

Alaska prepper I am new to prepping. Do you have a amazon shop of your own? The black wax is not available. I was hoping you can add the other colors to your shop so you can the credit. I appreciate the you teaching this.

[@PeterHonig.]

We are a licensed cheese-making creamery and dairy goat farm in southern Vermont operating to the United States Federal Grade-A standard. As such, I would like to offer some clarifications and suggestions to you folks. First, we are not permitted use any wood, fabric based cheese cloth or any other porous materials, as these can harbor lots of bacteria. We dry and age our cheeses only on NSF food grade stainless steel racks that are sanitized with a 100 to 200 ppm solution of food industry bleach for 60 seconds just prior to use. The wet racks should NOT be wiped dry or they will no longer be sanitized. We do however, shake off as much liquid as we easily can. Don't worry, the bleach will be neutralized as soon as it makes contact with your cheese. Wash your hands very well or wear surgical gloves before you handle any cheese. We either wash up with Betadine pre-surgical scrub, or use anti-bacterial soap followed by a rinse with a Chlorhexidine Gluconate solution. If you don't have these specialized anti-bacterial agents, just use soap and water, as it is pretty good at eliminating most of the bacteria. If any of our cheeses have developed mold prior to waxing, we wash them with a saturated brine solution using a soft sanitized brush and make sure they are good and dry prior to dipping. Drying might take up two or three days for a cheese that needed to be brine washed, or just one or two days for one that was fine. In any case, the cheese exterior must be dry or it will develop a mushy layer under the wax. Also, our cheese is at room temperature prior to dipping so it does not develop any condensation on the surface from being cold. We heat our wax to 210 deg F and hold the cheese for about six to seven seconds in the wax during each dip to kill any bacteria or mold spores (always wear surgical gloves to prevent a potentially bad burn). A wheel, for example, will be dipped four times: first flat face, the other flat face, half the disk like the letter "D", then the other half disk. The wax preserves the cheese by depriving mold of Oxygen and preventing moisture loss of the cheese interior. By the way, the waxed cheese must be turned at least once a week to prevent moisture pooling at bottom of the wheel or piece. Good luck and have fun with your dipping!

[@adreabrooks11]

Thank you for these insights!

[@lorraineeasydoesit8448]

You should do a video about this. Seriously.

[@LoremIpsumSemper1]

How long does the waxed cheese need to be turned

[@PeterHonig.]

@@LoremIpsumSemper1 You should turn the cheese once or twice a week until you consume it. Moister cheeses need more turning, dry cheeses less. Clearly this could go on for years, but waxed cheese is meant to be consumed usually in a matter of weeks or months, as it does not continue to age like a natural or washed rind. When you buy a 5-year old cheddar for example, it was aged first and then waxed just before being sent to market.

[@wendicampbell3019]

Thanks AP! I'm going to try this. 😊 Notes: Leave cheese out 24 hours on wood. Clean with distilled vinegar. Freeze for 15 minutes before wax. 1lb of wax will cover up to 10 lbs of cheese. 2 lbs of wax for 10 lbs and more.

[@temprnsalkhemi]

😯 I never knew that this was possible to do at home. So much cheese has been wasted in my home because we only knew about freezing and refrigeration. 😔 My mother is from the 50s where convenience and automation was becoming big. She never taught us about preserving foods. I am learning those skills now as an adult. I learn so much from this and other channels from people who live out in the boondocks and have these awesome life and survival skills. You're a blessing, A.P. and may you continue to be blessed for what you do.

[@northwest6423]

I never knew this was possible for long term storage of cheese, and I enjoy preserving all types of food. As a tidbit, I picked up what my Belgian landlord called a cheese safe/box when I was stationed in Belgium. It's about the size of a single handled ice chest with two wooden shelves, a door on the front, and screening material all around it for air flow. It makes perfect sense now that I've watched this video. I've already ordered two pounds of cheese wax and I dug out my cheese safe and put it in the basement in anticipation of making my first batch of shelf stable cheese. Thanks for the great video.

[@AlaskaPrepper]

That is great, please let us know of your progress as the cheese ages. God bless...

[@juliem.679]

I would love to see a picture of the cheese vault/safe you have. I cannot find anything like you describe on Amazon or just searching online. My Belgian ancestors that came to America in the 1850s must have known about what you describe, but I have not been able to find an image. Do you know what it is called in Flemish?

[@kylielogan8771]

I got tired of throwing cheese out, big blocks I was buying from Costco. I remembered back in England that I would wax the cheese. So I got red wax cut the cheese block to 4oz sections dipped 4 times then wrapped in parchment and zip lock bag put in refrigerator this cheese easily lasted me 1 1/2 years. I already used sharp cheese so I didn’t want it to mature I just waxed it and put in fridge to last without molding.

The warm wax felt great alone and worked wonders when the oils were added. Plus it's great for your skin. She would pull her hands out of the wax she would have my pawpaw put a plastic bag on each hand. She used old bread bags. Then he wrapped a hand towel around each hand then wrapped in foil. I guess she wanted to have the heat last as long as it could. They also were so careful with the heavy duty foil and they reused it over and over and over...

[@AlaskaPrepper]

Thank you brother, hey how's the weather up in MI, we are finally getting some sunny days over here.

[@ModernRefugee]

Alaska Prepper it’s been cool, but I’m still planting garden. It’s sunny and blue sky right now. Warm weather is coming for both of us eventually. That care my friend.

Good luck to all

OMG.... how have I missed you’re awesome channel...now subbed and well chuffed. Awesome advice ☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@AlaskaPrepper]

LOL, very happy to have you as part of our community Hobbit so Welcome and Many blessings to you and your Family...

[@hobbitone2939]

Alaska Prepper Thankyou ever so much ☺️. You’re channel is perfect. Living in the U.K. I just know when SHTF the whole country will be gridlocked so I’m preparing at home. And you have given me so many ideas/information that I didn’t consider like this cheese video I had no idea (silly I didn’t realise) that bought cheese can be prepped. That’s just awesome. I’ve learned some of the medicinal plants and their uses and used them on myself first to make sure I’m not going to hurt my family etc. Such as the Romans’ used comfrey to heal broken bones, willow tree for pain relief. I just love learning ☺️☺️☺️

Watching from 2022. Cheese rat here! So thrilled to have learned this preservation technique. Very impressed to watch your first attempt, I think I can do this! Easy peasy cheesey! Maybe take just one out of freezer at a time to dunk? Thanks Rudy! PS. I think you should print AP labels and adhere them! 😍

Hi Alaska prepper! God bless your day! Im so happy to have found your video on dipping cheese to store! I am very inspired now to do the cheese dipping & will be buying all i need to get started. I hope you will be using some of your wax dipped cheese when you make pizza with your new pizza oven! Cant wait for your video on your pizza making! I have a question on the wood pieces you rested your cheese on. Dose the wood have to be a special kind of wood? Thank you for all you do in helping us all get prepared for emergencies! Have a blessed day!

It's funny i was just talking to my wife about waxing cheese the other day. Thanks for your time to educate all of us ! By the way i have one of those pressure cookers, And they are great. SO DON'T PICK ME ! Stay warm up there. A Fl. Prepper

I like clear wax because I can see any problems, such as mold or other discoloration, starting so I can salvage the good cheese. I keep the cheese out of the light, so I don't need a dark colored wax.

[@gunnargundersen3787]

This video have me a bit of a wry smile as pretty much all the high end Cheddars here in the UK come coated in Wax. It has been done over here for hundreds of years. One of my favourites is a Welsh Cheddar called Black Bomber. The wax on it is black hence the name. There's also a cave aged Cheddar I love that is also waxed. This is an awesome prep though. It has reminded me to throw another dozen waxed cheeses into my preps. Thanks for the great video.

[@strawberryme08]

low ph is safest id like to know if i can actually do this when i keep being told I can't with modern store bought cheese

[@funsizedi88]

Yea Americans don't care about saving anything, so we have a throw away culture, hence why things are not packaged to last like in the UK.

[@ChineseChicken1]

There’s wax cheese in the grocery store where I shop in the US.

[@victoriaoshea4865]

@@funsizedi88 we don't have a "throw away" culture in my family. I am American. My mother grew up in a Foster home during the great depression because her mother could not afford to feed her. We have always saved and washed aluminum foil zip lock bags left over night, canning I think when you speak for Americans you should speak for yourself and not all of us

[@deborahscott7597]

We can find in speciality stores cheese sold in wheels covered in wax.

[@damehome2563]

Sir, you are a leader and teacher of many. I learn so much from you. Many Thanks.

[@ghostrider5987]

Your way is so much more cost effective. I was just yesterday looking at old school cheese making. I am still going to learn old school. I think it will be great for bartering. Now I know a great way to stock up on my favs.

[@ameliasonger3758]

Thank you for sharing how to store cheese

[@hillsofwv4729]

Maybe different color wax for different kinds of cheese .

[@pennywillis8895]

You could also buy wax stamps like what you stamp envelope wax. PJ for Pepper Jack, C for Colby etc.

[@dawnm9122]

I like the idea of dipping smaller pieces since it needs to be refrigerated or eaten quickly after opening. Important to remember that several small pieces will require more wax than one large of equal weight.
