Cheese Presses and Frames

Over the last couple of years through trial and error we have developed this range of cheese frames, presses and hoops.   When we started we were stocking cheese moulds imported from France but we found them flimsy and expensive for what they were.   Our range of moulds and frames is made to last and designed specifically for the home cheesemaker.   We hope you enjoy them.

Small Feta Cheese Frame

Large Feta Cheese Frame

 
Feta / Halloumi Frames

Made from non-tainting Kahikatea wood, this frame is designed to be sat on a cake draining tray, lined with cheesecloth, filled with curds and pressed with a pot of water sitting on the top buttons.

It turns out a nice thick square of Feta or Halloumi which can then be cut into the sized chunks you want.

We make them in 2 sizes – the small square frame holds a 3-4 ltr recipe, the rectangular holds a 6-8 ltr recipe.

HH008 Small Frame                  $29.50

210mm L x 155mm W x 45mm D

HH008 - Large Frame               $49.50    

355mm L x 190mm W x 45mm D

Camembert Hoops

After much trial and error we have produced the perfect hoop for making camembert.   The right diameter and height so they don't collapse or go too thin and made in heavy guage stainless steel so they wear and wear in dishwashers and salt.

They're not cheap but they are good.   For those wanting to work with small amounts of milk at a time camembert is a good cheese to make.   Two moulds will take approximately 3ltrs of milk to fill.
