Once you graduate from making simpler
cheeses like cottage cheese and other soft
cheeses ...you'll want to try your hand at
making the Hard Cheeses.
Making Cheddar Cheese and such ..its not at
all hard , but you'll need some extra
equipment to do this ...
The most significant piece will be a cheese
press.
There's some very expensive Presses on the
market that are nice ...or you can just go
the route of getting the off-the wall cheese
press plans we offer ...
But to be honest we think the Cheesy press
is the best and most affordable way to go
about this.
First, you're not spending a fortune
...second the Cheesy Press allows you much
more control over the pressure that you'll
be applying to the cheeses. |

Knowing that pressure is key to
making consistently fine cheeses, bricks and water
buckets just are not reliable enough. Too much
pressure and the cheese is too hard and dry. Not
enough pressure and the cheese is too soft and
subject to spoilage...
We had a very nice
wooden Cheese Press years ago but quickly learned
that wood products have no place in a cheese press.
They absorb water, warp, expand and are impossible
to keep sanitary. The Cheesy Press is all plastic
and stainless.
One Major problem with some presses is that cheese
tends to ooze out the bottom of the hoop when
applying pressure on presses that have no means of
clamping the hoop down. The Cheesy Press allows the
hoop to be securely clamped down before pressure is
applied. The cheese slides easily from one end to
the other when flipping the hoop and follower
The Cheesy Press is designed for 2 gallon
batches
