United StatesThis works great for queso fresco. It didn’t work quite as well when I made ricotta because the curd washed through the holes and I needed to line it with cheesecloth. (Perhaps my curd was just too small!). They are a little flimsy, but I find this useful when flipping the cheese because I can ensure that the corners fit correctly in the bottom of the mold.
United StatesI use this mold to replace cheesecloth in my chevre routine, and it is so easy! After my cheese is done draining, I just rinse the mold, put it on the top rack in my dishwasher, and BAM, it's sanitized and ready for the next batch!I think I might get a second one.
I am new to cheesemaking and found this little gem to dry my ricotta cheese...I am so excited to say the mold worked like a charm!
United States United StatesI'm a newbie ricotta cheesemaker and I have used this mold a few times since I received it. Very good for draining cheese and also creates a really nicely shaped cheese (post-draining). Perfect for making ricotta from 1 gallon of milk.
