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 StatesNice mat
Mat works well. It is better to age on that the fine mesh mat as it allows for more air flow under the cheese due to the larger mesh size.
United StatesNot my First Choice.
Holds the moisture on the bottom of the cheese. Looking for something better.
Cheese mat
This is just what I needed. It works well, is easy to clean, and wasn't expensive. I bought a few of them, but then to the size of a plate, and now I can properly make all the cheese I want.
