Swiss Cheese - Washing Recommendations?

I know I am supposed to wash my Swiss every other day with a vinegar solution to keep the mold off. Is that the only reason? My Swiss has no mold do I still need to wash it?

You also want to keep itsoft and pliable so the eyes can form without cracking open the cheese.

How old is it? What stage is it in? I would rub it down with EVOO.

It is about two weeks old, about 1 week into it's warm stage. Starting to plump.
I will wash every other day as instructed.

Good time to start rubbing with oil.
