Fine Mesh Cheese Mat

This fine mesh ripening mat for cheese making is used when air drying a variety of cheese, especially soft, mold ripened cheese including Chevre, Brie and Camembert. Because this mat has a fine mesh, it will leave less texture on the cheese surface, and is less likely to pull mold as cheese is flipped when aged.

Using this mat will allow whey to drain and air to circulate when cheese is draining, air drying and aging.

If needed, soak mat in a wash solution before cleaning.
