When pressing large diameter homemade cheeses, you need a lot of pressing force. In fact, for most semi-hard or hard cheeses, you need a pressing force of well over 1,000 pounds. To meet these requirements, I created my Superman cheese press. It's a modified Dutch style cheese press. It can be set up in under two minutes, and disassembled just as quickly. it only takes up about 4 square inches of floor space in the back of my closet to store it. I'm very happy with it's performance and storage capabilities. it takes up a lot less space than my old Dutch press, and provides the capability of pressing large cheeses at much higher pressing weights.
