Cheesecloth is the essential straining tool for cheese-making, clarifying stock and preserving, cut from a generous 2.5 square metre length of woven cotton that can be trimmed down to whatever size a recipe calls for.
Made from 100% cotton fibres, this cheesecloth from Appetito works well for bundling fresh herbs into a bouquet garni, straining yoghurt or nut milk, or lining a colander for smooth stocks, jellies and sauces. It can also be layered over a sieve to catch fine sediment when clarifying stock or fruit juice. Wash it on a gentle cold cycle with a mild detergent and hang it out to dry indoors rather than soaking, to keep the weave in good condition for repeat use. Avoid rigorous rubbing while the fabric is damp, which can wear the fine cotton fibres thin over time and shorten its useful life.
