Half an avocado. A wedge of cheese. Yesterday's sandwich for tomorrow's lunch. You reach for the cling film, wrestle with it, use it once, and throw it away. Every single time.
Made from ethically-sourced beeswax, organic plant oils, and natural tree resin. No BPA, no phthalates, no synthetics touching your food.
Hand wash with cool water and mild soap, air dry, reuse for up to a year. When they're done, compost them. Zero waste from start to finish.
Sizes: Small 7 × 8" (18 × 20 cm) · Medium 10 × 11" (25 × 28 cm) · Large 13 × 14" (33 × 36 cm)
- 3 beeswax wrapping cloths in graduated sizes (small, medium, large)
- Made from 100% cotton infused with natural beeswax
- Designed to mould around bread, cheese, fresh produce, and bowls
- Reusable for up to 12 months with correct care
- Plastic-free, washable, and zero-waste by design
- Presented as a set suitable for gifting as an eco kitchen gift or sustainable food storage gift for home bakers
- Natural beeswax softens with hand warmth, allowing the wrap to mould tightly around food or the rim of a bowl no clips or fasteners needed
- Beeswax is naturally breathable: it regulates moisture exchange rather than sealing it in, which prevents the condensation build-up that accelerates mould in plastic-wrapped food
- Antimicrobial fatty acid compounds in beeswax slow bacterial and mould growth a property absent in plain linen or cotton covers
- Cotton construction allows the wrap to flex and hold shape without cracking, unlike some stiffer wax-coated alternatives
- The breathable seal is particularly effective for bread and cheese, where airflow matters for texture and flavour
- Honest limitation: beeswax wraps are not suitable for raw meat, fish, or very liquid-heavy foods; the breathable quality that benefits bread and cheese is not appropriate for those food types
- Wrapping cut sourdough, rye, or artisan loaves between servings
- Covering bowls of sourdough starter, dough, or leftovers
- Storing wedges of hard and semi-hard cheese (cheddar, gouda, parmesan)
- Wrapping cut fruit and vegetables (apple halves, cucumber, citrus)
- Home bakers at any level who want a reusable cling film alternative for everyday kitchen use
- Gifting: the 3-piece set format and plastic-free credentials make it a practical, considered eco kitchen gift
- Not suited for: raw meat, raw fish, very wet or liquid foods, or use in a microwave or dishwasher
| Storage Method | Breathability | Antimicrobial | Reusable | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beeswax Wrapping Cloth (Exanas) | Yes regulated moisture exchange | Yes natural beeswax properties | Yes up to 12 months | Bread, cheese, produce, bowls |
| Plastic cling film | No fully sealed, traps moisture | No | No single use | Short-term sealing, raw food prep |
| Silicone stretch lids | No airtight seal | No | Yes multi-year | Bowls and containers, not loaves |
| Plain linen or cotton cloth | Yes | No | Yes | Bread only no seal, limited protection |
| Zip-lock plastic bag | No fully sealed | No | Limited degrades quickly | Portioned items, freezer storage |
- Wash in cool or lukewarm water only. Water above approximately 30–35°C will soften the wax and reduce the wrap's lifespan
- Use a small amount of washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or your hands; no scrubbing pads
- Rinse thoroughly and air dry flat; do not wring or hang vertically while wet
- Never put beeswax wraps in a dishwasher, microwave, or near a direct heat source
- Store flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry drawer; avoid stacking heavy items on top
- With correct care, each wrap remains pliable and effective for up to 12 months of regular use; when the wax thins visibly and the wrap no longer holds its shape, it is time to replace
-
Do the wraps smell like beeswax or honey?
There is a faint, clean wax scent when the set is new. This fades after the first few uses and does not transfer to food. Most people notice it only when the wrap is first unwrapped.
-
What sizes are included in the 3-piece set?
The set includes three graduated sizes, small, medium, and large. The small is suited to cut fruit, a cheese portion, or small leftovers. The medium works well over a bowl, a sandwich, or half a loaf. The large handles a full round loaf or a large mixing bowl. Exact dimensions are not specified in the provided product data, please check the product listing or contact Exanas directly for confirmed measurements.
-
How do I use a beeswax wrap?
Hold the wrap in your hands for a few seconds. Your body heat softens the wax slightly, making the cloth pliable. Mould it around your food or over the rim of a bowl, then hold it in place for a moment while it cools. The wax firms back up and holds the shape without any clips or fasteners.
-
Can I use these wraps for bread specifically?
Yes, beeswax wrapping cloths work well for cut loaves, bread portions, and covering bowls during proofing. The breathable beeswax layer helps maintain crust texture better than plastic, which traps moisture and softens the crust. For whole loaves, the Exanas Premium Cotton-Beeswax Bread Bag is designed specifically for that purpose.
-
Are beeswax wraps food safe?
The wraps are made from cotton and natural beeswax, both widely used in food-contact applications. However, individuals with sensitivities to bee-derived products, including beeswax, should check suitability before use, as beeswax is a bee-derived material. Exanas does not make food-safety certifications beyond the materials stated.
-
How long do beeswax wraps last?
With correct care, cool water washing, air drying, and no exposure to heat, each wrap in the set is designed to remain effective for up to 12 months of regular use. When the wax begins to thin and the wrap stops moulding cleanly, it has reached the end of its useful life.
-
Can I put beeswax wraps in the dishwasher?
No. Dishwasher temperatures will melt the wax and permanently damage the wrap. Hand wash only in cool or lukewarm water.
-
Is this set suitable as a gift?
The 3-piece format works well as a practical eco kitchen gift, it covers everyday use cases and the price point of $25 sits comfortably for a thoughtful, standalone gift. If you are buying as a gift alongside other Exanas products, free shipping applies on orders over $50.
