Inspired by the caves used for centuries by cheesemakers to store their wheels and wares, this cheese grotto is aptly designed to preserve the food’s freshness, aroma and taste using natural materials and careful climate control. It’s handmade from Baltic birch with breathable bamboo wood shelving to prevent premature molding and contains a clay brick humidifier on the bottom that, when soaked in water regularly, regulates moisture (no more crumbly cheese!). An adjustable back panel and special air channels promote extra breathability. Plus, you won’t waste any more plastic wrap on cheese that’ll only make it slimy. Also, the plexiglass windows and pull-down door let you easily access and keep an eye on your cheese. Includes a 2oz bottle of mineral oil to help care for the wood. Holds up to 2 pounds of cheese.

[/banner_heading] The Cheese Grotto was tested in a dairy lab against a typical cheese wrapping paper and it won out in prolonging a wedge’s shelf life. Not only will it cut down on wrapping waste, but the grotto also creates a perfect microclimate in its interior via its eco-friendly materials, like breathable bamboo wood. [/banner-text-break] What we especially love about this stunning cheese grotto is the flexibility it offers: place the grotto in the fridge for up to 3-6 weeks for longer storage, or feel free to keep the grotto on your counter (it’s attractive enough to do so) for 7-10 days at room temperature, so your cheese is ready to enjoy anytime.
