Mini Babybel is a brand of small snack cheese products that are individually packaged and available in various flavours. It is a product of Le Groupe Bel (French for ‘The Bel Group’), a company with roots in the Jura region of France, started by Jules Bel in 1865. Half of the global production of Mini Babybel is made in Évron, a commune in the northwest of France.

Mini Babybel is known for its packaging, consisting of a netted bag in which each piece of cheese is encased in a blend of colored paraffin and microcrystalline wax, inside of a cellophane wrapper made of wood pulp, cotton, or “other vegetation”.

That’s a Babybel cheese—a small, round wheel of semi-soft cheese (like Edam) encased in red wax for protection. The wax isn’t edible; you peel it off to eat the cheese inside. The tweet’s joking by calling it “cheese inside a candle” due to the wax resemblance. Fun snack, not for lighting!
