Reed Cheese Mat

Great for initial drying

They absorb the whey so it assists in the drying, but you need to switch them out over time. If used as an aging mat, they mold, so use something else for aging.

Works great for cheddars or gouda

These work really well for dryer curd cheeses such as a cheddar, though if you’re doing a wet cheese with softer curd or draining with an open bottom mold , then I would like the reeds to be a little bit bigger as I find it does trap the wey a bit. Other wise it’s great for a drying mat and well made! Would recommend for the home cheese maker for sure!
