I forgot to pop your cheese in there for the swell job. Here ya go!

Aw, thanks Boof!  I'm touched and honored to get my first CHEESE from you!!  I'll post photos if I see more swelling in the next week...I'm think "lofty" thoughts  . 

I don't ever wax my Jarlsbergs, just rub in a little butter if it asks for it as it matures. You could also use olive oil but it would change the taste. It helps to keep the cheese covered during the swelling phase (I use a glass bell jar on a wooden cutting board), then sometimes take it off or prop it up for air if the mold begins, then cover again if it looks dry.
