The Cheese Press with Spring is a vital piece of equipment when making semi-hard and hard cheese. Pressing is one of the important steps in making hard cheese and acts to expel the whey and to form the curds into a solid mass. The cheese basket you use acts as a mould and creates the shape of the cheese you are making.
In order to press the cheese, you need to apply evenly distributed pressure, or weight, to the cheese in the mould. To do this you need a follower that will fit correctly on top of the cheese, inside the basket or hoop (available as part of the Hard Cheese kit). You then need to apply the correct amount of weight to the cheese. My recipes all indicate how much weight should be applied. See this cheese press with spring in this video on how I estimate the pressure applied when using this press.
The base is HDPE, which is a food-grade plastic and is the industry choice. The threaded rod, nuts, and washers, etc. are 316 Stainless Steel.

This is the cheapest and best quality press. I was looking everywhere, then found gavin from YouTube using this. My first time making cheese and this press worked amazingly. Totally recommend!!

Can’t get much simpler than this press. Received mine 2 days earlier than scheduled delivery and can honestly say having made my first 6 cheeses that it is a fail safe device that works.

I looked everywhere for a cheese press and this is the best and most affordable press I’ve seen. Thanks so much

This press has made my cheese making so much easier. Up till now I had been using gym weights which invariably slid off the mould and resulted in wonky cheese wheels. Well worth the money.

A simple, elegant, well-made press that fully meets my expectations.
I am very excited to try making my first pressed cheese using this press.
Thank you!

I really got the press and the mould so I could make chesses using the equipment Gavin uses. I really like it and can use different size moulds in it

After viewing Gavin’s many videos I just had to get the cheese press. Suffice to say It’s brilliant.I love the simplicity of it.
Only downside was the hit I took from Customs to deliver here in Scotland, but hey,I have it now and its working like a dream.
