Plyban Cheesecloth
This is the perfect liner for your cheese press molds. It produces that flawless, professional-looking finish, with no sticking. It is both long-lasting and ultra-easy to clean. [Two-18” x 22” sheets]
Mary Jane Toth, author of A Cheesemaker's Journey and Goats Produce Too recently wrote on our forum, "Just wanted to share what I think is a great product for the cheese press. The Plyban (plastic) cheesecloth is great for pressing your cheese. I prefer the cloth and it's a must for soft types of cheese. The plyban is too small for hanging a batch of cheese to drain, but I have found it to be wonderful when used in the cheese press. Most pressed cheeses call for you to turn the cheese over and redress, some several times. Each time you have to use a clean cheesecloth because the cheese sticks to the cloth if you don't change it. But this new plyban stuff can be used over each time the cheese is turned to press again. It does not stick to the cheese as the cloth does. If you making pressed cheese I highly recommend this product.
