Square cheesecloth

One cloth, many uses in the dairy

This square flexible polyethylene cloth can be arranged to suit a mould, vat, trolley or table. It helps separate whey when making fresh curd cheese and cheese. Its flat shape gives you flexibility, while the choice of size and fabric weight lets you select the cloth for each batch.

Choose the size and weight

Available combinations: 50 × 50 cm — 35 or 50 g/m²; 90 × 90 cm — 35 or 50 g/m². The 35 g/m² version suits fresh curd cheese and lining surfaces; consider 50 g/m² for larger cheeses and frequent removal from moulds. A heavier cloth may leave more noticeable marks at folds. Check suitability in your own production process.

Why choose a PE cheesecloth?

Flexible polyethylene has a three-dimensional structure with tapered openings that let whey drain away. The cloth supports curd drainage, while its smooth surface makes the finished cheese easier to release. It is a practical choice when efficient draining and convenient removal matter.

• The material does not absorb moisture like a traditional fabric.
• It facilitates whey drainage and reduces curd sticking.
• It helps produce a smooth cheese surface and makes emptying moulds easier.
• The blue colour makes the cloth easy to identify at the workstation.

Positioning and reuse

Place the smooth side against the cheese. Before reuse, wash the cloth at 60–70°C and disinfect it. Reuse only a clean, undamaged cloth. Adapt the drainage method and any pressure to the cheese type and your production process.
