- Reed Cheese Mat
This mat was exactly as expected. I've used mine a few times to air dry some cheddars and it has worked great.
These great little mats fit perfectly under my cheeses as they age in my cheese cave. A quick scrub with baking soda and hot water, a boiling water rinse, air dry and we are good to re-use again Thumbs up!
Perfect bamboo mat for cheesemaking. I've used it for three times now and it works great!
