Cheesecloth is a fabric designed out of loosely woven cotton fiber. It can come in a variety of grades, which indicates how open the weave of the fabric is. It was originally designed to help in the manufacturing of cheese by pressing the cheese curds together. The curds would be placed into the cheesecloth, where it would be molded by hand to create a ten pound ball that would be tied together.
