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.

United StatesI’ll let the photo speak for itself. Salts nicely!
CanadaI am looking forward to using this as the reed mats retained more moisture than I wanted. I am glad you can get this by the roll and wish there were larger rolls available.
United StatesGreat durable cheese mat. I make lots of cheese and use these for draining Brie and air drying semi-hard and hard cheeses
United StatesThis mesh mat is perfect for drying my hard and semi hard cheeses!
United StatesI had one - and just needed more. These are great for drying cheese after pressing/brining. Easy to clean, and less chance of mold vs. the sushi mats. Great for 1-2 lb. hard cheese.
