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.
This simple cheese press with spring is made to suit cheese baskets up to 180mm wide, and 175mm high. To determine pressure applied to your cheese, you can use a “22 kg (50lbs) spring” system. With the “22 kg spring”, you will know when you are applying the required 22 kilograms simply because the spiral of the spring closes up fully. Halfway closed indicates 11 kg (25 lbs). The press works perfectly with our Cheese Basket 165 mm with Follower.
The base is HDPE, which is a food-grade plastic and is the industry choice. The threaded rod and nuts are 316 Stainless Steel.
You can find the instructions from the manufacturer on how to assemble the press in the video below.

Does a wonderful job. Light and easy to use.
Works perfectly!
Can’t wait to use my new press. Very well made
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.
