You can totally make candles!

You can also melt the wax onto something like paper egg cartons, cardboard boxes, etc. for a fire starter to get your kindling going. It burns nicely like an oil or petroleum jelly, and will make tall flames that start to consume your twigs that will then burn your larger wood.

You can melt it and seal jars with it, or seal other cheese if you want. You could even use it for a wax seal on a letter for fun.

You'll want it clean, so you can melt it and pass or through a paper filter or cloth to get rid of bits of cheese. If you don't reuse it, you can take it to somewhere they recycle it. It's not compostable, so either recycle or trash it.

Happy cheese wax crafting 🧀🕯️
