Clear Cheese Wraps

The clear, breathable wrap, is a one layer sheet of cellophane. The goal of cheese wrap is to allow the proper amount of moisture and gas to escape and fresh air to enter the ripening cheese surface.

Both of these wraps help provide a controlled environment for cheese at a reasonable cost. These wraps also allow you to see what is happening on the surface of the cheese as it ages.

Clear Wrap for Mold Ripened Cheese

These wraps have a less porous surface to minimize evaporation, while still allowing gas buildup, from ripening, to escape.
