Where did you get the "fancy horizontal curd cutter"? From the fancy cheese shop? Seriously, where? I think I may try this cheese once I see how my Caerphilly #1 does.
Actually, this is a home-brewed design that I have been working on. I described it (and reference the designs of others that inspired it) in the following thread:
http://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,13485.0.html -- the first post has pictures, and the third has a description of the cutter.
I have been working -- unfortunately, very slowly -- on improvements to the design, with the possibility of making it available to others. I finally got a prototype out to John at Perfect Cheese (
www.perfect-cheese.com) to evaluate -- that prototype is very flexible in adjusting to different-sized pots, but rather too complicated to make it commercially viable. (Or rather I should say, what I sent him would have to represent the "premium" model, available for a very "special" price for those among us with deep pockets.
) So now I am working -- again, very slowly -- on a simpler design, still flexible, but hopefully possible to manufacture without breaking the bank.
