Our refrigeration failed us. Good news! You can absolutely salvage a Parmesan wheel with surface mold, as its high density and low moisture content prevent mold from penetrating deep into the cheese. Trim off at least 1 inch around and below the moldy areas using a clean knife, then wipe down with vinegar and salt. Rinse/wipe off, Dry and store. We did our research and learned how to clean it … out of the 80 pound wheel… We lost 1 pound of cheese total. Donated 40 pounds of it Come back for Part 2 when we cook in it again! How to clean a moldy Parmesan wheel: • Remove Parmesan from plastic wrap • Mix white vinegar with kosher salt • Scrub entire wheel to remove visible mold • Wipe w/a damp cloth, then dry completely • Chisel ~1 inch deep around the whole wheel to reach fresh cheese Dry the cleaned wheel completely • Place in a fresh, X-large Ziploc bag • Squeeze out as much air as possible • Seal and store in the refrigerator for use #parmesanwheel #parmesan #cheesemonger #mold...
