These are perfect for aging your home made cheeses. Allows air to circulate. Simply sprayed with vinegar to minimize mold, I now use them all of the time and this website has the best price around.

This mat works great for pressing, air drying, and aging my cheeses. It is easy to clean and allows for good drainage. Way better than the straw potholder I was using as a makeshift mat before.
