Traditional Basket Cheese Mold

Thank you so much for your amazing products and fast service! I am always pleased with my orders. Particularly my cheese mold. They are easy to use and the perfect size. They cleaned up nicely too!

My order was faster than I expected. The molds were exactly as described and worked perfectly. Thank you so much for the wonderful products and your amazing service!

I bought this basket mold to make my Sicilian American friend a canestrato (she perused the recipes at NE Cheese Making and chose that one) and I must say, it really does make a pretty cheese. I used two gallons of milk and the curds pretty much filled up the basket. I'm glad I bought this one, because the first canestrato I made, I used a ricotta basket and I'm sure it will be delicious in a few months, but its pretty boring looking. So buy this one--you'll be glad you did.

This mold is perfect size for the amount of cheese I obtained. It gives a great pattern and is easy to clean. Loved it!

I've used this once so far for brie. It makes a nice size round with a gallon of milk. Compared to using smaller molds, this one somehow resulted in a nice flat, even round (with other, smaller molds I've gotten ridges around the outside as the curds settle). Flipping the brie is always a challenge, and it wasn't super easy in this mold either. Still, I got it to flip without any major tears. I suppose the design on the bottom is nice but it'll be all covered with white mold anyway by the time the cheese is ready.
