Great for drying
I have just finished making the pepper jack cheese. I found that the reed mat is perfect for putting the finished formed cheese on to dry a few days before waxing. It is just the right size.

New, but love it!
I am fairly new to making hard cheese. I was putting my cheese wheel on a plate to dry with a fly net over the top. but, which ever side was down, still turned wet. This mat helps air to flow, and wick away from the wheel, and let me get it to the next step faster!

Marks blue
I have been learning for about 2 months now thanks to new england cheese making company for helping me with everything. Now I make real good blue cheese thank you all.
