    Posted by Hernan on 25th Mar 2018

    I haven't used yet

    Posted by Becky on 6th Mar 2018

    The Cheesemaker has great customer service! Mine arrived a few days late but it got here. I can't wait to use it. Though the mesh seems to tightly woven to let any moisture out but I'm sure it will. Note from thecheesemaker: this FDA approved draining bag is great to drain yogurt for Greek yogurt or drain Ricotta to thicken.

    Perfect bags!

    Posted by Dawn on 26th Nov 2017

    The reason for my purchase .... (I wish I could be making cheese where I live) .... I collected many acorns in deep woods near my home, and leached out the ground nuts. Lots of leaching involved. I used the bags to press the water out. Perfect! Thank you.

    These are easy to use and easy to clean for reuse. Much better than using cheese cloth.

    Exactly what I had been looking for

    Posted by John on 30th May 2017

    I needed a better way to strain our natural yoghurt and had been searching for a solution. These bags fit the bill perfectly and the product was dispatched to me in the UK very promptly. Excellent product and service. Thank you.

    Less Mess

    Posted by Russ on 5th Oct 2016

    Love these bags! I always had trouble lining the hoop w cheese cloth for the first pressing. Often got folds of cloth into the body of the cheese. Now I load curds for draining, dump in bowl and salt, then back in the bag, and do the first pressing or two in the bag in the hoop. I have some funky creases in the cheese, but these go away. When the cheese is relatively firm, its no problem to wrap in cheese cloth for the finishing pressing. Durable, easy to wash. I'm re-ordering because the bags are so handy for a fine strain of my soup stocks, I've ruined them for cheese making! Great product!

    Quality, but too big for me

    Posted by BHealthy on 10th Jul 2016

    This is a well-made bag. If the size works for you, you will be happy with it. I am a home cheese-maker and use standard kitchenware – 1 to 2 gallon stainless bowls and colanders. I was looking for a bag big enough to drain 1 gallon of cheese. The nut milk bags I use for smaller quantities have such a tiny opening they are useless with anything except a tall narrow container like a blender jar. Even the smaller size of this bag is too narrow for a normal size bowl. So, I have been using a large square of organic cotton to drain my cheese; but, because I don’t wash it in the machine – I wash everything by hand – it took forever to get it clean. Fabric is harder to wash than nylon. Also, because it is hard to clean, I have separate squares for each product – one for cheese, one for stock, one for juicing, etc… When I found this bag I was ecstatic – it was wide enough to fit around my 2-gallon bowl! However, it’s so deep, it's way too long to then hang it from the cabinet handles, or even over my 12-gallon stock pot (stock pots must be wider and shallower than cheese buckets). Yes, I knew the dimensions before I ordered it, and it IS better than anything else currently available because of its width, but it’s not perfect for my needs, and I can’t believe I’m the only person making cheese in one gallon batches. Once I get our sewing machine set up, I will cut it in half and make two bags out of it. In the meantime, I wish someone would make a set of bags sized to fit over a standard kitchen bowl set and about 12” deep. I’d buy them by the dozen! This is a 5-star quality bag. I removed one star because I wish it were shorter. Note from Steve/thecheesemaker.com: Good point about the length. To keep down cost, the bags were made to utilize the size of the material roll. Maybe we can offer another size in between the two sizes we now offer. -Steve Shapson
