Cheddar Cheese

I cut the whole 2 lb. block of cheese I just made into approximately 3/4 inch slices. Then I quartered them like this. The reason why is because I'm going to include a piece of cheese like this in my Christmas gift baskets this year. These have to sit out for two days and get dried on the outside, what is considered a rind, then they will be waxed and put in my 55 degree icebox to age until Christmas.

They'll end up being like those little cheeses in Swiss Colony gift packs or collections like that. You know, the ones that have little cheeses and sausages and crackers in them.
