186mm HOOP

$19.00

  • 188mm diameter x 96mm high with base.
  • Will require approximately 8 to 15 litres of milk for a non-pressed cheese but this will vary depending on cheese styles and yields.
  • Traditionally used to make a large wheel of cheese such as Camembert, Brie or triple cream, Blue Vein, Havarti, Feta.
  • The base provides support to the large diameter cheese while turning.
  • The follower is available to purchase separately if you choose to make this hoop into a pressed cheese hoop.
  • Made in France of heavy-duty food grade HDPE.

 

Hint: When brining cheese always add some CaCl2 and Acid to the brine. It is particularly important for cheeses that spend a long time in the brine.  The calcium and acid in the brine should equal the calcium and acid in the cheese.

Cheesemaking

Thank you for Your Interest in a Cheesemaking Course

Making cheese prior to the course is not essential but it is very strongly recommended. I have found that over many years of providing cheesemaking courses, having some basic cheesemaking experience before you get to the course is an enormous help with taking in the information provided at the course.

To help you start to make cheese at home, there are several kits available, starting from $60 plus postage. Each kit has detailed instructions so that you can easily make lots of cheese in your own home, without having made cheese previously. See the range of available kits here. You can easily add to the kits once you have completed the course.

As an incentive to start making cheese, I am offering you a 5% discount on the price of any of the kits (excluding postage) - Just add the kit to your cart and use the code KIT at the checkout.
