Cheese Presses

Written By Steve Shapson - The Cheese Maker. I've designed these presses to be easy to use, fast clean-up. They are The best cheese press for home use on the market today. After using other home cheese presses, I decided to make a model with major improvements. A very heavy-duty custom-made stainless steel spring (pressure regulator) will allow you to apply specific amount of pressure 10-100 lbs.(4.5-43.3 kg.). Made of stainless steel and food grade materials (follower, support bar, pressure spring, washer, base, hoop, hardware). These presses are very affordable and very high quality. The support arm easily attaches and unattaches. No need to use cheese cloth with these presses. Excess whey is expelled at the base via a specially designed pitched channel to allow whey to spill off the press base in one direction. There are two sizes offered based on how much milk you will use to make your hard cheeses. The two gallon capacity cheese press can be used with up to two gallons of milk. The five gallon capacity cheese press can be used with 2-5 gallons of milk. Take advantage of my Cheese Press Package - If you make different size cheeses, purchase my Cheese Press Package - a great value!
