Large Square Mould

Large-capacity square cheese mould supplied with a pressing plate. This is a very robust mould, weighing around ¾ kg on its own and just over 1 kg with the pressing plate included. It has raised feet to support good drainage, slightly tapered sides, and rounded internal corners to help make curd removal easier.

Vital statistics (internal): H 18.5 cm; W 22.7 cm at the top and 20.9 cm at the base. Approximate total volume: 8.8 litres.

The follower has been cut to settle at a final height of around 9.5 cm above the internal base, approximately halfway down the mould. Because the sides taper, this sizing helps keep the gap around the follower manageable when it is near the top of the mould. The minimum pressed curd volume is approximately 4.3 litres, with a maximum of around 8 litres if curds are topped up in the mould during the initial pressing stage. The follower measures approximately 21.5 cm square, giving a generous surface area suitable for larger weights or kettlebells. Our large blue cheese cloth, measuring 104 x 107 cm, fully lines this mould.

This is a sizeable mould and would be especially well suited to homes with a couple of house cow or someone who prepares curds over 2 or 3 consecutive days before pressing.
