Remove the wheel of cheese from the press and you now have a wheel of hoop cheese. You may eat the cheese immediately, or you can wax it and age it to increase the flavour. If you don’t age it, the cheese will be much more mild in taste. Be sure to keep the cheese in the refrigerator. Being that the cheese does not contain salt, it can soil much more quickly.
