My experience with cheese is very limited, I’ve never had to press it, with stones or otherwise 😅

In what way does this relate to cheese?

Gregorech,

The press cheese. It’s in the name.

How does that work?

CeruleanRuin,

I’m guessing there was a wooden frame and ropes to go with them. Cheese wrapped in fabric or placed in a mold was placed on top of one stone while the other stone was lowered onto the cheese to squeeze out all the moisture.

They look like cheese pressing stones. Hence the name.

Ah, thanks.

Essentially the boulders are reminiscent of actual cheese press stones, or tethering stones. Here’s one on eBay, as a reference.
