I didn't bother with the marg as I want to can some butter myself.
Another thing I want to try is dehydrating cheese but I'm not sure how long it would be good for. So many experiments, and at the moment, no time and money!

TOF cheese last near on forever when waxed, why not buy hard cheese and wax your own I do.

My reason for wanting canned cheese is no effort while in store, wax cheese you have to look after a little.

I have a question, can cheese be stored waxed in say 1lb portions?

Yes and half that if you want, I would suggest not smaller then 500g and my reason for saying this is you can get under wax mould which you have to cut away it’s like a small root, a 1lb block is about spot on, don't let the mould put you off, when cut away the cheese is fine.
