Medium Mesh Cheese Mat
Description
This medium mesh cheese mat can be used in many different ways when pressing, drying and aging cheese.
Placing this mat underneath open bottom cheese molds, encourages draining, in cheese like a blue, where the curds are large and firmer. For closed bottom molds without feet, this mat can be placed underneath, to elevate the mold allowing whey to drain from the bottom of the cheese mold. Placed under cheese, when aging, allows air to properly circulate around the entire cheese.

Medium mesh mat
I use this mat regularly. Under a fine mesh mat when I am letting cheese drain. It has a good height to allow drainage. I also use it in the cave so the cheese is not sitting on the bottom but allows some air flow

The medium mesh mat is great for air movement around your cheese during aging and also allows and seepage to drip out. And most of all it is easily cleaned.
