So....I opened my first waxed farmhouse cheddar after a month--it was delicious (but not very cheddar-like), smooth and creamy. But it had mold growing in the cracks of the cheese that I had waxed over. Evidently I hadn't heated the wax hot enough to kill surface mold? Or maybe because it was in a crack, the wax didn't kill the mold? But I figured it was okay to cut off the mold, and still eat the cheese.
But then I brought up another one, and noticed it had spots on the wax that were actually oozing (just a tiny bit). Little bubbles of liquid that smelled.....really sour. What in the world is that? And is it safe to eat the cheese?
