Cheesemaking: pressing tommes



That should be: "pressing tommes with no expensive equipment". These twenty-pound tommes are being lightly pressed by bowls of water; we have one more batch scheduled and then we should be finished making this particular cheese for the year. We will have about 600 pounds that will age for 6 to 9 months - the same amount as last year - and we are already getting orders for them.
