Cheese brush [?]

Hello.
Can you please help me, what exactly is a "cheese brush" ? I know only that it must be soft,
but how much and made from natural bristle or can be other ... I'm talking about aging brush,
not the one for waxing.
Thanks.

there are different kinds depending on if you want to scrub, wash, etc. Depends on the cheese. Most good ones are nylon or some type of HDPE/PP/Nylon blend.

then you need an all-purpose, medium stiffness brush that would enable you to spread the morge.
It's not some super secret brush.... heck, you can even use a rag

You can even use of these newfangled contraptions and put the morge inside

Any type of brush. You want to scruff up the cheese more? Use a harder bristle. Want to baby it and just use it to spread the morge around? Use a soft bristle, even something out of horse hair.

If you want to kick it up a notch DIY style, you could also mechanize (not for the morge phase, for the rind clean up pre-sale) and hook one of these things up to a drill
http://www.amazon.com/Revolver-DrillBrush01-Drill-Brush/dp/B002DLRN72/ref=zg_bs_15342891_19.
Gets stray molds, cheese mites, etc right out.

I don't think that one day I will sell my cheeses!
But thanks! I have now
6-7 months ahead of understanding how to wash cheese with brine and how
to understand which mold is good and which must be removed ... I'm sure I
will have a lot of questions soon with this Gruyere.
