Beeswax wraps are the perfect plastic-free way to wrap food. These sizes are great for wrapping cheese and cut fruit, or to go over a small bowl. Having a collection of Beeswax Wraps is essential for every sustainable kitchen, saving cling wrap over and over again. 

The AfriBeads Beeswax Wraps are made from African print material in Uganda, Africa. They are made by AfriBeads artisans, which supports the women and their families. 

Beeswax wraps are the traditional way that cheeses have been stored for generations. Beeswax makes a waterproof barrier that stops your cheese from drying out, but it isn't airtight. That means that your cheese can breathe. When you store your cheese in the fridge you want to keep it from drying out, but you don't want it to sweat as it will spoil. Beeswax keeps it in exactly the right environment for storage. Be sure to wash your hands before handling cheese though, as we can't save you from the dreaded mould spores, they come from your fingerprints!
