REAL REVIEWS FROM CHEESE GROTTO OWNERS
A humidor for the ultimate cheese lover
It is far superior to plastic wrap, cheese paper, and tupperware.
What the Experts are saying
Sennett's Cheese Grotto solves a problem every cheese lover faces: 'How can I prolong and/or maintain my cheeses at their optimal stages of ripeness? Cheeses are best preserved in their own microcosms with appropriate temperature, humidity, air flow, and microflora, and on permeable and easy-to-clean surfaces... Cheese Grotto provides all this in an attractive and portable package!
Max McCalman, World-Renowned Cheese Specialist
"Does it actually work? Yes, I experimented with storing both hard cheeses and bloomy (Brie-like) cheeses, like Doe Run’s Damselfly. You don’t have to stifle them in plastic wrap or tinfoil, so you can keep them fresher longer. Cheeses with downy surface molds actually continue to ripen, so you can get a slightly underripe cheese to develop a runny center over a few days.
After using the Cheese Grotto, I can’t imagine a Grotto-less existence."Madame Fromage, Cheese Blogger
"The use of the Cheese Grotto chamber seems to have improved the conservation of the products significantly. The flavor of the cheese was consistent (less ammonia profile).
The results of the sensory panel show the same trend as the results obtained by the proteolysis analysis ."
Agropur Research & Development Report via Lab Testing
Storing fine cheeses properly at home has long been a challenge. You can invest in special double-ply wrapping paper, but the temperature and humidity of a refrigerator do not flatter them. Working with an engineer and an industrial designer, Jessica Sennett, who has been behind the counters at Cowgirl Creamery and Bedford Cheese Shop, has developed a solution.
Florence Fabricant, Food & Wine Writer
"As a cheesemaker since 1997, this Cheese Grotto is the most important tool for storing cheese correctly. Not only is the craftsmanship of the materials beautiful, it is also functional and uses local artisans to create an investment for a lifetime. Our cheeses love to ripen in the Grotto."
Joan Monteillet, Head Cheesemaker and Founder at The Monteillet Fromagerie
