Description

Perfect Feta cheese mould to make your own aged, crumbly Feta cheese. Being one of the oldest cheeses in the world, Feta is a soft cheese with a semi hard texture, rich in aroma and flavour. 80x160x70mm

All our cheese making moulds are made from Food Standard Certificate (FSC) durable plastic. Looked after, will last for many, many years. Measurements are in millimetres:- top diameter x bottom diameter x height.

All Moorlands cheese making moulds are dishwasher friendly, including our feta cheese mould.

Included in the description is a recommendation for use, soft, semi-soft, hard, semi-hard or suitable for soft and hard.

Soft moulds are usually taller than they are wide. The curds will shrink down during the cheese making process, by as much as two-thirds. So really pack the curds in, once the mould has been lined with cheesecloth. Soft cheese moulds have holes in the sides and base to enable the whey can drain freely. Coming in various shapes and sizes, including beaker, cylindrical, square, conical, pyramid, heart shaped and basket. If the mould you have chosen doesn’t have a base, remember to sit the curd filled mould on a drainage mat.

Hard moulds traditionally have a follower. This sits on top of the curds in the mould, lined again with cheesecloth, before placing in the cheese press. Pressure is applied to the follower, in turn pressing down on the curds. The whey then drains away.

Applying the correct pressure is crucial. So make sure you follow the recommendations according to the recipe.

    This is a lovely little mould. Although for feta, i’ve already used for a variety of simple soft cheeses. Just the right size and the finished product is just that bit "different". Excellent value too!

    Love the shape and feel of this mould. Easy to sterilize and use. I’m thinking of buying a second one, so I can make bigger batches.
