Abstract

The invention concerns a method and a system (2) for cheese waxing. The system (2) comprises a container (1) comprising an upper rim (3), a bottom part (4) and side walls (5) interconnecting the bottom part (4) and the upper rim. The container (1) is arranged to be at least partly filled with wax (8) for cheese dipping purposes. The waxing system (2) comprises a heating system (33) arranged to heat the wax (8) into liquid phase. The invention is characterized in that the heating system (33) comprises a first heat exchanger (23) arranged to exchange heat between a first fluid (34), suitable for the food industry, and the wax (8). The heating system (33) comprises a first tubing arrangement (12) arranged to re-circulate the wax (8) from the container via the first heat exchanger (23) and back to the container (1 ).
