United States United StatesThese are ingeniously crafted, simple little bamboo mats. I've successfully cut them down to a circular shape for my maturation box (just a plastic cake protector) by unweaving the little ropes that hold the skewers together and then re-tying them inside the bounds of the shape I've sketched out. Make sure to do it before you cut them down.
United StatesI love it five stars definitely use this with a lot of my cheese thank you
United StatesThis mat was exactly as expected. I've used mine a few times to air dry some cheddars and it has worked great.
