United StatesI really enjoy this mold. I've used it for over a year. It's sturdy with straight sides and closed bottom. I've pressed cheddar at 200 lb without issue. 7 gallons gives me just the right aspect ratio for cooked curds and 6 gallons is just right for unpressed cheeses like blues (see pics)
I have been using this mold for a while. I make cheese with 4-5 gallons of goat milk per week and this mold is the perfect size. Very sturdy and well worth the investment.
United StatesGood result - wheel too thin
United StatesI've been using this for many semi-hard cheeses. Most of my cheeses are made using 4.5 gallons or less of high fat raw jersey milk from my cows. I've had no trouble with this mold holding that much volume of curd. My press, is a homemade press, in which I use my old pharmacy books, cast iron pots and such as weights and I'm not seeing any signs of buckling. It cleans easily on the top rack of the dishwasher. It's well worth the money! I wish I had a bigger kitchen and larger stove so I could do 2 wheels of cheese a day, with the volume of milk I have (8 gallons a day). I'm always happy with New England Cheese Making. Their products are premium and their customer service cannot be beat. Shipping is always very fast! They are the only company I order my cheese-making supplies from.
United StatesVery large and sturdy mold and perfect for my practical cheesemaking needs.
