Gouda or Edam Cheese Mold

Awesome!!

Sturdy, but not Gouda

This is an impressively sturdy mold. However it is not a Gouda mold. Gouda wheels are flat and stackable and have rounded edges. This one is so rounded that its like a bowl or ball and definitely not stackable. I was looking for a traditional Gouda shaped mold that would give me the rounded edges. Very disappointed :( However I do like the design much better then the hard cheese mold I purchased before. This one has "legs" or a raised base under the mold so the liquid can actually get out the bottom. The other one has a flat bottom so the holes are plugged against your drip tray unless you place something like toothpicks under it to raise it up. That being said, I had a lot of whey at the top of the mold that wasn't draining to the bottom since there are only 5 holes in the bottom and none on the sides.

Nice quality super thick
