Aging Gouda

[rkampa]

Hi all,

New to cheese making but started with a Gouda.  On my second week of againg at 55 F 93% RH and am  planning on waxing it this weekend.  The question is do I need to worry about the humidity after waxing?  I would upload pictures but haven't figured out how to do it.  Thanks for the help.

Hi rkampa, and welcome to the forum.

No, once you wax the cheese, you don't need to worry about humidity - that's the beauty of waxing. (Another option, which I now prefer, is vacuum-bagging.)
