The original purpose of cheesecloth was, as you may have guessed from the name, cheese making. It was used to separate liquids and solids in the cheesemaking process. Its flexibility and fine weave allowed for the liquid to be pressed from the solids, and it could then be washed and reused, making it a valuable resource. It was also used to wrap cheeses as they cured, to allow them to stay clean but still be able to breathe.
If you’ve never had cause to use cheesecloth you may be asking yourself, “What exactly is it?” That’s simple. It’s a loosely woven cotton cloth that’s very lightweight and versatile. It comes in different grades with varying tightness of weave. You can often find it at grocery stores, craft stores, or specialty stores. I’ve even found it at the feed store plenty of times.
There are far more uses for cheese cloth that we’ve all but forgotten in this world of throw-away everything,
