What do you do with left over cheese wax?

Question

I'm currently munching my way through two small wheels of cheese, a cheddar and a red Leicester. Both come encased in a thick layer of wax. Of course wax isn't edible and it feels a shame to bin it, so what can I use it for?

You can make some candles lit of it or create wax seals out of it and seal letters like during ancient times. You might be able to use it to polish something and use it as a rain repellent to make something water proof. Or you can make your own cheese and seal it with wax... I know very original that idea, isn't it? 😂

Or you can use the candles that you made out of it for other... ehm... let's say "adult stuff" that I can not write in the topic of food & beverage. You can probably guess what adults can do with wax.

Cheese wax is a versatile byproduct that can be repurposed in several creative ways. One of my favorite uses is to mold it into fire starters by adding sawdust or dryer lint, which can come in handy for camping adventures. You can also use it to seal jars, keeping contents fresh, or for waxing threads, which strengthens them for different crafts. And if you're feeling artistic, mold it into shapes for a wax sculpture project. The possibilities are as varied as flavors; let your creativity lead the way! 🧀🕯️

Traditional cheese would be coated in beeswax, which actually is edible, although I wouldn't recommend it with dyed waxes.

If you don't want to chuck it you can use it by taking a double-boiler and basically rendering the cheese off it the use it as a sealant on preserves or dip and cotton wick into it (or pour it into a mould) and make candles.

Melt it down, then shape it into wax statues of your parents. Then tell them you're grateful they made you, now you made them. The ultimate reverse Uno! *Gift it to them before summer for best results.

Into the bin it goes. It helps the trash decompose at the landfill.

Children and some adults can use the wax from cheese as modelling pasta, can't they? There are still many other things that can be done with that kind of wax. The list is too long to mention, but some people here give some nice tips ;0)
