The utility model refers to the cheese-making industry, namely, to the perforated forms for cheese pressing and can be used for both non-self-pressing and for pressing the cheese using a napkin. The mold for pressing the cheese includes a plastic perforated body with a smooth inner surface in a cylinder-based mold whose bottom has a smaller diameter and is smoothly connected to the walls of the body, a round plastic cover adapted to be housed in the body and adjacent to its end surface to the inner surface side walls of the body and containing on its outer surface a ring in the form of a hollow cylinder positioned coaxially with the lid, according to the utility model claimed, Execute with walls arranged along its perimeter on the internal and external surfaces, the rim on the inner surface is smoothly connected to the inner surface of the lid, the bottom of the casing on the outer surface contains a ring adapted to interact with a ring fixed to the outer surface of the lid, the holes in the casing have a diameter of 1mm to 3mm. The technical result of the utility model is an improvement in the performance characteristics of the split mold for pressing the cheese. The proposed form facilitates the removal of the pressed cheese head. The shape also provides the opportunity to ergonomically mix the molds one on top of the other in the production room, eliminating the need to use an additional load for the lower mold and the possibility of getting the whey from the upper mold to the lower one. the bottom of the housing on the outer surface contains a ring configured to interact with a ring fixed to the outer surface of the lid, the holes in the housing have a diameter of 1 mm to 3 mm. The technical result of the utility model is an improvement in the performance characteristics of the split mold for pressing the cheese. The proposed form facilitates the removal of the pressed cheese head. The shape also provides the opportunity to ergonomically mix the molds one on top
