Hi All,

  I’m so pleased with how I’m going collecting bibs and bobs for cheesemaking

http://www.mabelst.info/garden/garden/the-depths-ive-sunk-to.html

but I’m missing mats. Not mats for airing, I don’t think that will be a problem, but mats for putting at the end of
camembert molds when you flip them. The blessedcheese sells funny bits of griddy plastic things, but I don’t know
what they were before they were cheese mats.

Any ideas?

Long way to order stuff from Ozz http://www.blessedcheese.com.au/
I just use the air drying mats once its removed from the cheese cloth for flipping.

The blessed cheese is about 70km from my house.

i went to the local hardware stor and bought 4 hard vynal floor tiles and cut them into 4

The screen door material might be useful as well as a fine mesh. Cut to desired length from your favorate hardware store.

Re: screen door material—make sure it is the plastic kind.  I wouldn’t eat anything that has been in
contact with galvanized mesh for very long—to much chance of weird heavy metals being present.

LOL, yup dont need the extra taste, only seen plastic here.

my camembert cheese sticked to the mamboo mats, why and what shall i do ?

I flipped mine frequently so they dont grow over the mats.

I flipped mine once every 24 hours, do u think this is wrong?

I thingk it depends on how fast the bloom grows so I thingk 1/day is the minimum, I thingk 2 a day is proper but dont quote me on that.

smart answer
