Beeswax Wraps
A set of 3 wraps (small medium and large) Beeswax wraps are a perfect alternative to cling film.
Lasting for up to 12 months, wash, wrap and reuse. Just use the heat of your hands to seal.
Beeswax is naturally antibacterial and breathable therefore when combined with our other ingredients the wraps keep food fresher for longer. Our wraps are slightly sticky so with the warmth of your hands you can mould the beeswax wrap around food.
Handmade in our East Lothian workshop our wraps are produced with the highest quality food-grade ingredients of beeswax, damar tree resin & jojoba oil. Each ingredient adds properties to the cotton fabric giving you one of the best beeswax wraps on the market. If you need extra feedback do have a look at our testimonial page or follow us on Facebook for regular updates, offers or news of new designs.
Beeswax makes the cotton wrap waterproof, breathable and antibacterial, such are the wonderful properties of beeswax. This is what helps to keep food fresher for longer, like a second skin. Does the beeswax make the food smell? No our food-grade beeswax has a low odour meaning it will not impart a beeswax flavour to bread or cheese.
Damar Tree Resin adds extra stickiness to the food wrap helping it seal bowls and sticks to itself when wrapping food.
Jojoba Oil is actually a wax and is naturally antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and hypoallergenic therefore it softens the wax stopping it from cracking when cold and helps keep food fresh. In the fridge or freezer the wrap goes hard but as soon as it is removed from the cold is opens easily without cracking, a vital ingredient.
Beeswax Wraps - The Plastic Free Cling Film AlternativeMake a clean break from cling film - beeswax wraps are greener alternative for covering your food. Just use the heat of your hands to get them to stick. Suitable for use in the fridge and freezer. Not suitable for use with warm or hot foods, or use in the microwave. Avoid wrapping raw meat or fish. Our wraps can last up to a year, with proper care and regular use. You'll know when your wrap has reached the end of it's life when it is thinner, soft and has trouble sticking to itself. At this point they are compostable and biodegradable. Or you can rejuvenate them by putting baking paper either side and ironing. If they have lost all their wax, we also have beeswax blocks available for you to top them up. |
