Cheese Grotto Classico

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 breathable bamboo wood 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!). A vaulted ceiling makes for ideal airflow and condensation control, while an adjustable back panel promotes extra breathability. Plus, you won’t waste any more plastic wrap on cheese that’ll only make it slimy. The Grotto Classico is the most similar to a cheese cave out of the grotto collection; it can hold up to 8 pounds of cheese and will fit well in a medium-large-sized refrigerator. Its two removable shelves help to accommodate wheels and wedges of all sizes, while the plexiglass windows and pull-down door let you easily access and keep an eye on your cheese. And for budding cheese makers, this grotto can also be used to age homemade cheeses thanks to its air channels. Includes a 2oz bottle of mineral oil to help care for the wood.

[/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.
