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 StatesPerfect size mesh!
This medium mesh mat was exactly what I needed to make ricotta! In fact, I purchased one but, wish I had gotten two. I made 2 batches of ricotta and the one that wasn't draining on the cheese mat didn't drain as well at all. I'll definitely be purchasing more!
United StatesMedium 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
