United StatesI've been using for several makes now. These work great as a non-slip drain mat, especially for pressing. Also using for air flow in my aging fridge. going to buy a couple more!
United StatesWow...these reed mats are great! I first bought one to try it, now I have several! I like to put them under the cheese when It is ripening. They are great also to use when the cheese is being pressed.
United StatesThis reed cheese mat is just what I needed. It provides just the right airflow for aging cheese.
United StatesThese work great, they are bamboo sushi mats actually. Get at least 4, because you'll want to flip your cheese. The recipe said 2, wasn't enough.
