Frequently asked questions
What are the cheese moulds used for?
They shape and drain your curds into a firm, neat cheese, holding the shape while the whey drains and while you press firmer styles.
Why are moulds used in cheese making?
They give a cheese its shape and help drain and press the curds into a firm round. Without a mould, firmer cheeses would not hold together neatly.
Which cheeses need a mould?
Firmer and pressed styles that need shaping and draining. Very fresh cheeses like ricotta can be drained in cloth instead.
What's included in the cheese mould kit?
Five reusable cheese moulds and two muslin cloths for wrapping and draining.
Are the moulds reusable?
Yes. The set is fully reusable. Wash them and use them batch after batch.
Do I need a press to use them?
For fresh and soft cheeses, gravity does the draining. For firmer styles you weight the mould down, so you do not need a dedicated press to start.
Do the moulds come with ingredients?
No. They are the shaping tools. Pair them with any of our cheese making kits, which supply the rennet and recipes.
How do I clean the cheese moulds?
Warm soapy water, a good rinse and air dry. They are built to be reused many times.
