Popular Press


As you progress with cheesemaking at home, there are a number of items of equipment that you will find beneficial to enable you to obtain great results, one of these being a good quality cheese press.


Certainly in the making of harder cheeses, a press is necessary to “knit the curds” (bring them together in a mass) using specific pressure, which will also remove any extra whey, producing the texture of cheese that you’re aiming for.

Moorlands cheese presses were originally designed some 50 years ago and we’re pleased to still be using this traditional, tried and tested design today. Produced by a small UK plastic fabrications company, our presses are available in large (for up to four kilos of hard cheese) and small (up to one kilo) sizes, fitted with carefully crafted spring mechanisms to enable the correct pressure to be applied. You can view our presses by visiting www.cheesemaking.co.uk/cheese-making-cheese-presses

Commended for their ease of use and no-fuss cleaning, compact style and great results, Moorlands presses are a must-have for budding and advanced cheesemakers alike.

At Moorlands we believe that by using good quality ingredients and equipment, you too can make great cheese
