France - Antique Faisselle 3 sizesThe name faisselle refers to the perforated mold or basket in which the cheese curds are strained. The finished cheese is soft, grainy, and has a tangy, fresh flavor. The cheese is often served with either sweet (jam, fruit) or savory toppings (herbs, olive oil). The molds themselves are also popular decorative or antique collectibles. Marked 1, 2, 3 on bottom. Number 1 has two chips on inside of feet, not very noticable from the outside.
