Cage like container for cheese during ripening - has narrow ribs curved for round cheeses improving air circulation considerably

摘要

The ribs of a container for holding a cheese during the ripening process have at their inner faces a breadth of 1-3 mm. The container is formed by a central ring from which the ribs curve outwards and upwards to the points where they are secured to a second ring. Some ribs form parts of support plates for the containers which may be assembled at least in pairs. The containers may be used for the pickling process also, and they ensure a much better circulation of air, esp. from below. The cheeses acquire mechanical strength due to drying much more quickly, and the ribs leave no marks on the skin.
