United StatesThe cheese mat I purchased here arrived Wednesday of last week. I'm already using using it and aging a brick cheese on it. Working like a charm and I'm glad to add it to my cheese making supplies.
United StatesWork well. A little difficult to clean .
CanadaVery pleased with this mat. Looks way more durable than other products, yet priced the same. Drains very well when air-drying cheese.
United StatesThe reed mat is actually for sushi rolling but works well-letting air get to the bottom of my farmhouse cheddar. Multi-tasking products are awesome.
United StatesThis mat is wonderful. When we first started our Gouda journey, we kept our cheese in a wine cooler set to 50 degrees. We moved to the cold storage and so we bought the mat. It does well with circulation and has helped dry the cheese out well.
