wax-coated

Like premium Gouda

Wax-coated describes something covered with a layer of wax for protection or preservation.

Wax-coated paper resists moisture; wax-coated cheese rinds prevent drying.

The coating may be thin and invisible or thick enough to peel: The wax-coated cardboard kept the milk from leaking.
