Reed mat
I love these reed mats. They effectively drain the cheese, wick moisture away, and leave a lovely imprint on top of the cheese! They're super cost effective so I can afford to own several sets and when they become splintery they can be composted.
Cheese mat
Nice cheese mat to help with draining and drying cheeses. It works better in some situations than the plastic mats as it tends to wick moisture away from the cheese.
