Rare 18th century carved oak goat cheese press, with bas relief carving on either end depicting the front and back of a ram.
A cheese press is used to 'knit' the curds to ready the cheese for storing and aging. The pegged t-shaped pummel applies pressure to the cheese curds and forces the liquid whey to exude from the cheese. As the whey is released the curds form a firm rind on the outside of the cheese and a smooth, uniform consistency within. The solid wheel shape can then be aged.
