Our Natural Bristle Cheese Wax Brush has 2″ boar bristles, held together with a ferrule band on a wooden handle. Perfect for applying melted wax to your homemade cheese. These bristles won’t melt while applying the hot, melted wax. The brush can also be used for buttering biscuits and bread, applying seasoning, glazes, oils, and sauces to meats. The boar hair we use to make our pastry and basting brushes hold liquids and oils properly so it spreads more smoothly and evenly. It brushes melted butter and icing on the most delicate pastries and bread without heavy pressure that could tear or crush your food.
