-------------------------------------------------------------

  • Using the mold:
    • Line with mesh: Place the mesh liner inside the mold body. 
    • Add curd: Carefully put your cheese curd into the mold. 
    • Apply pressure: Use a cheese press to apply even pressure to the mold to shape the cheese. 

   

  • Cleaning procedure:
    • Disassemble: Take apart the mould, separating the mold body, the mesh liner, and the lid. 
    • Soak: Immerse each part in a food-safe cleaning solution.  (we do not recommend an acid based cleaner for the mesh liner- use a diluted detergent)
    • Temperature control: Maintain the cleaning water temperature below 130°F (55C) for the mesh liner and below 175F (80°C) for the mold and lid. 
    • Rinse thoroughly: Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water; can scrub mesh liner with a soft bristle brush as well if needed

 

  • Important considerations:
    • Do not use a dishwasher: Always hand wash Kadova molds. 
    • Do not use an acid wash on mesh (even if no rinse food approved such as Star San)

 *Weight may vary based on final curd volume.

    Awesome Product

    Posted by Michael on 18th May 2023

    This moulde is expensive but it does a fantastic job. My only complaint (and it is a small one) is that after long pressing you get a weird ridge around the curd. I think this was resolved by another reviewer. I did not have to use a cheese cloth and nor did I flip the cheese. For a almost perfect round curved edge cheese, its a good moulde. Just try to figure out that last ridge part where the moulde follower doesn't quite match up. Otherwise 9 out of 10.

    I purchased the small one and it fit 2.3 pounds of curd perfectly. I did not use a cheesecloth for my gouda and it came out great. My only complaint is the follower line it leaves after heavy and long pressing. I think another poster resolved this problem. Expensive, pay attention to the cleaning details (don't put in a dishwasher), but otherwise, it is a pretty neat mould.

    This is the best mould!

    I love this heavy duty mould with the mesh liners. Cheesemaking is much cleaner without so much cheesecloth. I recommend this product 100%

    Expensive, but worth every penny

    Posted by Chris Schmitt on 6th Aug 2018

    After a lot of effort to work out my Gouda and Fontinella recipes, the final touch just had to be the traditional shape. I have tried other cove corner moulds, with generally unsuitable results. This heavy duty item is well executed in every way and will produce a perfect Gouda profile with one little trick. At the end of the press cycle, flip the cheese, warm the mold and nets in hot tap water,and apply a light weight to the follower. I use an 8 lb brick for the large mould for ten minutes or so. This will even out the follower seam, and form the band around the circumference evenly. This mould fits a 4 gallon recipe just perfectly for both of the above mentioned styles. Thank you Steve, for both an outstanding product, and crazy fast shipping. Chris
