Delvowax cheesewaxes are mixtures of fully refined, food grade paraffin waxes,
microcrystalline waxes and various elastiticity improving polymers. Delvowax
cheesewaxes provide a durable, moisture proof, surface barrier for cheese and
an attractive presentation of the final product.
Cheeses are dipped in a melted Delvowax liquid after which the wax solidifies
and adheres to the cheese surface.
Delvowax cheesewaxes can be supplied with various melting temperatures and in
a wide variety of colours.
