The Cheesy Press is designed for 2 gallon batches (of milk) and includes a unique pressure adjusting system that regulates the pressure of the follower against the curd. Each revolution of the pressing handle is equivalent to approximately 2.2 lbs of pressure.
Knowing the pressure is the key to making consistently fine cheeses. Bricks and water buckets just are not reliable enough. Too much pressure and the cheese is too hard and dry. Not enough pressure and the cheese is too soft and subject to spoilage. This press is made of plastic and stainless steel. Guaranteed for life by the manufacturer.
Dimensions of cylinder are 4 inches diameter by 7.5 inches tall. Base is 7 x 6 inches.
