Blue Cheese Mold

Blue Cheese Mold

I LOVE this mold! I love the open bottom and great size of this particular mold. Not only just for blues, it will press any hard cheese, but it's a must for a beautiful Stilton. I use a small food grade bucket to place my Stilton in to create a mini cave, of course turning daily, and that is placed in my cheese cave/wine cooler. It has worked wonderful! Thank you for wonderful products, recipes and tips for all of us home cheesemakers!

Nice mold

I made two beautiful blue cheeses with this mold, but how much blue cheese do I need? I also use it for a type of chèvre I make with one package of mesophillic starter. 12 hours at 86 degrees, hanging for another 12 hours and then I put it in the mold with 25 lbs of ankle weights for 8 hours to help it drain. The results are excellent with a spreadable cheese with a very nice bite to it. I spread it on sour dough toast. We also use it when a recipe calls for sour cream.
