Somewhere I read about oiling cheese to prevent molding. What would be the best oil to use and is this temporary or a long term remedy?
Wade, it would be recommended that if you are planning on long term storage that you wax your hard cheeses. Oiling will keep air from reaching your cheese which in turn inhibits molding. Vegetable oil will work just fine although it would be a good idea to refresh the oil every week or two and or along any cut edges. Store your oiled cheese in plastic containers.
