For Feta and blues...

scroll down, they have lots of molds.

I've often been envious of Tea's square molds.

For those of us in Australia/NZ, CheeseLinks.com.au in Australia also does.

For those in Europe, The Bulgarian Smallholder also does.

Well, we *could* order from any of these, it's just expensive!  I wonder if you could rig up something using a strawberry box?  Maybe with some kind of netting on the sides and bottom?  Or use a hot poker and make holes in a square glad box?

Hey, that's the ticket!

It just occurred to me, John, what about those plastic clamshell containers we get a pint of strawberries or blueberries in?  They have vents along the bottom and side and they are obviously food safe.  I just noticed the strawberries I have, though it's a rectangle, are made with recycled drink bottles, and are the company gets 50% of it's energy to produce their stuff from the sun.  Cool.  http://www.penpack.net.  I could see reusing these three or four times for something like Feta...

Yep good idea, I've also wondered about that, but the ones we get here in Texas have big slots in them, so I think lose to much curd.

While they are expensive, they do last effectively forever.

you could line them with that netting you bought a while back, John.   That would make those holes "smaller".

I like the bulgarian site's descriptions "curd sack" just sounds funny. I wonder why it's in english?

L.L. yes could use netting/cheesecloth, was hoping not to, one less thing to clean.

Carter, I presume English as they ship anywhere within Europe?

Oh. John I've got some new items in the works. I've bought some plastic mesh and I'm going to use it like the kadova molds as a liner so I don't have to use cheese cloth. It will be in 3 pieces. One to go around the sides and then a cloth cheese cloth for top and bottom for my embossing plates. I'll let you know how it goes.
