Stepping into an old house and discovering a mysterious piece of wooden equipment sparks curiosity. The smooth, sturdy wood and stepped mechanism hint at a practical purpose, designed for repeated, heavy use. This is no ordinary household item – it’s a tool that once played a vital role in transforming raw ingredients into something special, something delicious.
This wooden press allowed homemakers to transform curds into firm, flavorful cheese by applying just the right amount of pressure to expel excess whey. With its adjustable mechanism, it accommodated various types and sizes of cheese, allowing for customization based on family recipes or regional traditions. The process was gradual and careful, pressing down the curds over hours to create the perfect texture and density.
