Question

I would like to try bandaging the cheese for storage. How long should I leave it before carrying out the bandaging?

Answer

Bandaging the cheese can be done as soon as the cheese is removed from the press, the bandage being applied with butter, lard, or flour/water paste. If the cheese is small, then bandaging may not be the best option, the cheese can dry out too far and become extremely hard and dry, during the maturation period, so keep an eye on that.
