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.
United StatesBamboo is so fresh; this mat smells so nice! It's great for using for cheese.
United StatesWorks extremely well
I find these reed mats are of good quality, and easy cleaning after use.
United StatesI have been making cheese for several years and I’ve always used wooden skewers while my cheese was drying. This mat makes it so much easier and the cheese comes out much more uniform
