Cheese cloth/muslin cloth

In Standard German it is called Käseleinen. Other possible words to look for are Filterleinen, Filtertuch, Siebleinen or Siebtuch. In Swiss German it's Chääsliine.

Make sure you buy the German version, though. The Swiss version is full of holes.

Only the one used for Emmentaler.

I just had a revelation the other day about this very thing,,, if you don't find "cheese-cloth" as you know it, go to a second hand shop and buy some pre-loved net curtains.
Give them a boil up and there you have it!!! They are perfect, better even than cheese-cloth I think.... good luck anyway.

Muslin/chesse cloth is nothing but a cotton cloth which is unbleached so that it can strain the chesse from the milk...

I use to make cottage cheese at home using a cotton cloth which works out perfect....

You can even use a washed cotton hanky or a kitchen towel which serves the purpose.

Do those blue kitchen cloths have any kind of chemical in them for cleaning? Did you wash them somehow before using them to strain things and if so, how did you wash them?
I've also heard of people using kitchen paper towel and coffee filters. Does anyone have any experience with using these? They seem like a bit of a pain to use hence the reason for me asking about the blue cloths.
I should just buy cheese since we live in the land of cheese but I really want to learn to make it myself.
Thanks in advance for any replies

Any of the bigger migros and coop will have muslin cloths in the baby section. If I recall correctly, they are called Mullwindeln.
