ProCera® cheese wax
We have launched ProCera® Natural which is a patented solution made only of natural ingredients, including beeswax.
Cheese wax for protection and highlighting of your cheese
Cheese develops flavour, character, and appearance over time.
ProCera® cheese wax is a protective, unique and thoroughly tested cheese wax with many, but also different protective qualities. The cheese wax protects the cheese through the maturation process, and is the one that the end user encounters in the refrigerator in different colours and formulations.
We produce ProCera® cheese wax with both the familiar traditional ingredients, or as an option made from natural ingredients as found in ProCera® Natural.

Security from start to finish within cheese wax
To ensure the best possible solution for your needs, we always follow a structured process.
Together, we assess a number of key parameters and decide whether to develop a new product or use the existing ProCera® product portfolio.
Patented cheese wax variant offers completely new options
ProCera® Natural is a brand new patented cheese wax which is 100% based on natural ingredients.
The fact that this new recipe is based on natural ingredients offers a completely new way to integrate cheese wax when working towards greater sustainability. ProCera® Natural should be used as a way to achieve greater sustainability in cheese production, which also makes it possible to highlight the benefits of natural packaging towards consumers.
ProCera® Natural is the end result of a six-year long development project to come up with a new and sustainable way to mature and package cheeses. The project was completed with support from European Eurostars, Innovation Fund Denmark’s InnoBooster programme and the Food Products Cluster of the business centre of Southern Jutland (in Danish: Erhvervshus Sydjylland).
The development project was completed in close collaboration with
- the Danish Technological Institute as scientific partner
- A European partner for innovation
- Selected customers

RETHINK cheese wax in three areas
Consumers and producers alike are concerned about sustainability, so cheese packaging is therefore a factor when choosing a product or a producer (or not).
Rethinking the process from raw materials to finished product is a requirement when working with cheese wax. For ProCera® cheese wax, the RETHINK mindset is applied in three areas:
- Origin - choice of origin of the raw materials used
- Reduce - reduction of layer thickness of or wax consumption
- Optimize - optimising the production process or your profile
We have a clear and systematic approach to help you in all three spheres, which makes all ProCera® solutions unique.
Cheese wax adds color to your cheese
Cheese wax not only protects your cheese - it is part of your brand.
Cheese wax is a direct communication medium whose main task is to capture the attention of your customers.
We work with you to ensure that your story is told and supported by the look and feel that makes your cheese stand out from all the other cheeses in the fridge.
Seven analysis methods provide safe data when choosing a cheese wax
The characteristics of a cheese wax are often assessed by experienced dairy experts on a somewhat subjective basis. It is now, however, possible to support the findings of experts’ senses with analysis from seven different aspects, which allows you to be certain that your chosen cheese wax is appropriate for the production, storage, handling and transportation of your cheeses.
The methods of analysis used involve:
- ASTM standard analysis methodologies
- Methodologies developed according to advice provided by the Danish Technological Institute
- Methodologies developed in-house at Procudan
Each analysis allows you to reach data-driven decisions when evaluating characteristics or allows you to use the findings to fine tune your existing cheese wax solution.
All testing and analysis are carried out at our own labs.
ProCera WaxLab - reduces time and resources in the development phase
We have our very own and unique cheese wax laboratory, which accelerates product development.
At ProCera WaxLab we can test smaller batches of cheese under the right conditions.
ProCera WaxLab simplifies both product development and optimization and helps reduce your time and resources in the development phase.
