Cheddar bandaging and mold

[Chetty]

I repressed when I did mine then ran the mold under hot water for a second to loosen from the mold.

I don't know that it's a good idea to repeatedly smear a cheese with lard and wrap it in cheesecloth.

This is how I bandage my Cheddars.

If you wish you can put the cheese back into the mold and repress for 24 hours after you have put the first layer on and then add further layers for more protection. I normally do three layers and find that moisture buildup is basically nil.
