United Statesreed cheese mat
This is an affordable and study mat for cheesemaking. I've been making mostly bleu cheese, and it's coming out great.
United StatesLove these mats
They are a perfect size to fit two wheels of cheese and keep the moisture off the bottom. Will be getting more of these!
United StatesGreat for drying
I have just finished making the pepper jack cheese. I found that the reed mat is perfect for putting the finished formed cheese on to dry a few days before waxing. It is just the right size.
United StatesNew, but love it!
I am fairly new to making hard cheese. I was putting my cheese wheel on a plate to dry with a fly net over the top. but, which ever side was down, still turned wet. This mat helps air to flow, and wick away from the wheel, and let me get it to the next step faster!
United StatesMarks blue
