Traditional Cloth-bound Cheddar Wheel - the biggest cheese I've made so far.

Very nice. Where is a good place to buy large cheese molds? I'd like one about 10" in diameter for a wheel of Parmesan.

Fascinating for sure. Nice work

Thanks!

I guess the hard part is waiting.

The secret is, much like charcuterie, just make enough that is ready in the short term that you don't mind waiting on the long stuff.

Sorry to read that. Best to ship it off to me for proper disposal.

It will be on the way tomorrow. Just sit out by your mailbox and wait...

This is the one I used. Only 8" though. This was 6 gallons of milk, and it could have handled more.

Hard Cheese Mold Deluxe (Large)

This large hard cheese mold is sturdy and built to last. It is the perfect size for making a 6-8 gallon batch of hard cheese, will work with any of our cheese presses, has a closed bottom and comes complete with a follower.

It ain't easy being cheesy!

Great write up on the art of home caesiculture.
