Description
These Muslin Straining Bags are beautifully made with fine, bleached white cheesecloth. A good idea to have at least three. One in use. One in the wash. A spare in the draw.
Not just for lining cheese moulds and straining curds, but perfect for wrapping Christmas puddings the old fashioned way, home preserves and pickles. Washable, durable, sustainable.
Please email if you require a larger size. A minimum order for custom made sizes would apply of 50 pieces.
Traditionally, cheesecloth has been used in cheesemaking to separate the curds and whey, helping to form the cheese. Cheesecloth and muslin straining bags are great for straining stocks, homemade jelly, smoothies, custards, making tofu and cottage cheese. Paneer, an Indian fresh cheese, is commonly made using cheesecloth.
Christmas fruitcake, wrapped in a brandy infused cheesecloth as it ripens, is probable the best use for cheesecloth. After cheesemaking of course!
Super for home fruit preserves and pickle makers. Machine washable and durable. Remember to rinse well after washing to remove all residues of washing detergent. Sterilise just before use by immersing in boiling water for a few seconds. May find slight staining occurs after some food stuffs, but apart from not looking very attractive, is totally harmless.

I haven’t yet used one but it can also be used for making Greek style yoghurt. Just make yoghurt in the normal way using full cream UHT milk. Then strain away the whey using a muslin bag to get the extra creamy Greek yoghurt flavour!

I would like to use this product to make Greek yoghurt. Ideal to strain away the whey. Never made yoghurt before but it’s something I definitely want to try

Have been looking for muslin bags to poach German style sausages in (instead of having to sew my own). Spotted these on your site and think they maybe just the ticket>

I have officially got the cheese making bug! I’ve been looking on line for a straining bag, these look good quality and are a good price too!

I have been making cheese from our raw milk produced by our Jersey cows for 4 years now. I always use Moorlands due to their good service and wide range of products.

I make a lot of jam and preserves and now I am having a go at making cheese as I have access to beautiful full cream milk from Jersey cows. So this bag should come in handy for many home produce goodies.
Margaret Vile –
I make all my own food from bread to preserves and jam. I have access to lovely full cream organic milk and also make my own yoghurt but its now time to venture into making cheese and butter. I think this bag will be useful for jam and cheese making activities. I have brought goods from Moorlands before and have found them helpful and reliable.

I am going to try making chevre and this is just what I need.

Cheesemaking here in Mallorca is not so easy, as reliable suppliers are rare, BUT Moorlands have always come through efficiently and quickly.
Amanda Beech –
Last year I made a lot of cheese from our home produced goats milk. I have bought all my starter cultures and many moulds from Moorlands. They have always been fast and reliable.
Barb Saunders –
I’m new to this game but enjoying it so far. I like this website as it’s clear and easy to use. I haven’t used many products yet but I’ve just ordered some cheese moulds and starters and will let you know how I get on with them.

Having been bought a kit to make cheese at Christmas, I am very new to this craft. I have just made my first cheese and am ready to go on to the next, this site seems to have everything that I could possible need and most probably much more. I will come back and let you know how things have gone.
Priscilla Woollard –
Being a newbie to cheese making, it’s good to know that Moorlands have everything I need to make the process a little easier.

We make our own goat cheese in Ireland and we always use moorlands cultures. Lovely soft cheese overnight which we barter with our neighbours for fish and apples! Isn’t life grand!!
Roger Rossano –
I am so pleased to find a supplier of cultures and cheese making equipment that is professional. You can find almost everything you need on their website with lots of information on each product including instructions for their cultures.
I have now ordered from them on a few occasions and look forward to using them for lots more.
Delivery is very quick and never a problem leaving it in my porch.

I ordered the vegetarian rennet and the mesophilic starter. It works very well.
Reliable ingredients.
John Cullen –
I bought the combined cheese making kit. I am very pleased with the kit and I am looking forward to making my first hard cheese from their recipe booklet "smallholder". Very pleased with their customer service.

Bought several products over the last few months. Just made some Camembert from the recipe book. White mould is growing, can’t recommended these enough.
Duncan Shaw –
Excellent over the phone help and advice. Products arrived next day and our first cheeses have impressed us and friends.

Cottage cheese starter – Clear instructions – very easy to make – I am a complete novice. The cheese tastes amazing – tangy and full of flavour. Keep some of the cheese aside and make your next batch using it as a starter. Great value for money as well as really good for you!
Carole Kedie –
Have just successfully made my first Caerphilly using the small cheese press , I am completely new to cheesemaking and had to ask for some advice from Moorlands, Clear and precise advice and extremely helpful. Highly recommend this Company.
