I'm wondering where to buy it. Pleasant Hill Grain has some pretty decent looking canned cheese (something similar to a tuna can). Have you tried any of these?Teresita Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399167425409854324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-62841281568308138522010-04-21T15:46:10.197-06:002010-04-21T15:46:10.197-06:00Eric, the room temp varies from 35-40ish in the wi...Eric, the room temp varies from 35-40ish in the winter time to 70ish in the summer. I did not turn them at all. I checked the waxed ones once before (shortly after waxing) and had to reseal some of the wax, but other than that they've been left pretty much to themselves the entire time.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564720462613298012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-90837538793469676742010-04-21T14:08:16.323-06:002010-04-21T14:08:16.323-06:00can you tell me this, what is the ambient temperat...can you tell me this, what is the ambient temperature (or temp range) of the room these were in. also did you turn them daily or weekly?<br /><br />Thanks for your reply.<br /><br />EricUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13086842021317297719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-71982561722574691372010-02-03T16:26:29.625-07:002010-02-03T16:26:29.625-07:00Good post, but why didn't you try beeswax?

The wrapping is all swollen and poofed out, sounds like yours was too. We love sharp cheese so maybe I'll use it soon and we'll see. Also interesting to note...we had mice downstairs and it got into some of the things in the same box as the cheese, but didn't touch the cheese. Guess they didn't know what was in there. lolMomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210200258895345395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-77862973927906526992010-01-20T09:49:47.333-07:002010-01-20T09:49:47.333-07:00My parents used to sell cheese kits a long time ag...My parents used to sell cheese kits a long time ago.

Not sure why - that's just how the locals here in Tillamook taught me to do it :)<br /><br />The liquid that separates works fine in your mac and cheese - at least that's how I use it up :)<br /><br />My usual is the Tillamook Cheddar baby loaf.marci357https://www.blogger.com/profile/08464308058830198491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-62516915837508552862010-01-15T10:46:22.792-07:002010-01-15T10:46:22.792-07:00PrepperMom-I just learned about it before doing th...PrepperMom-I just learned about it before doing the first cheese and the gal that told me about it sure didn't give very detailed instructions!<br /><br />Carol-We love cheese, too.<br /><br />Pink Dress-Too bad he's not closer, I've got a handful of this super sharp cheese. The cat doesn't like it, but the dog is okay with it.<br /><br />Jim-Just trying to help ;) Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />Jill-It probably would. As long as there isn't any air in the package with the cheese. If you've got a brand that's shrink wrapped that's not Tillamook, I'd get me a little package and set it on the shelf. You'd know pretty quick if it doesn't work ;)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564720462613298012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-77511278713221234122010-01-15T10:38:27.145-07:002010-01-15T10:38:27.145-07:00I wonder if this would work for other shrink wrapp...I wonder if this would work for other shrink wrapped cheese?Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057638606569343024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-88825738224098815972010-01-15T09:57:03.255-07:002010-01-15T09:57:03.255-07:00Another informative article...thanks my friend!Another informative article...thanks my friend!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-52508268369084516262010-01-15T06:47:29.451-07:002010-01-15T06:47:29.451-07:00Wow, I never thought of waxing cheese, though I...Wow, I never thought of waxing cheese, though I've had dutch cheese a lot.
