Our original Grotto, The Classico, is made with architecturally handsome bamboo that is extremely resilient and durable over a lifetime (3 X stronger than oak). Each Grotto is finished by hand, making it a gorgeous tabletop display for entertaining at larger dinner parties.

The Classico Model has a larger footprint, at 7.5 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 8.5 inches tall, making it the perfect size for the avid cheese connoisseur, with a medium to large refrigerator. Taking after age-old European traditions, this model can be stored on the countertop or in a cellar at a warmer temperature (45 to 69 F) for effective short-term cheese storage, or it can be stored in the fridge for long-term storage.

The framed, pull-down drawer is perfectly designed for fridge and countertop use.

The adjustable back panel allows for additional ventilation for curing and ripening styles of cheese. Because of the adjustability, the model can also be used for at-home cheese aging projects. The porous and unfinished quality of the bamboo promotes a healthy environment for cheese microbes, and upkeep is easy with a monthly application of mineral oil.

An excellent gift for the aspiring cheese aficionado.

The Cheese Grotto is fantastic - it keeps my blocks of cheese fresher for longer periods of time, unwrapped in all their glory.

It really does extend the life of cheese over time. Aside from the functionality, the Cheese Grotto looks great and is easy to maintain.

Love it!

We actually love it x2. This is the second one we’ve bought. Still using the first grotto from 10+ years ago. It is a must for cheese lovers.

Tanya!! There simply isn't a better proof of purchase than this. 10 years and counting!! Thank you so much

The answer we've been awaiting

I've been slinging cheese for almost a decade and have scrunched my face up every time a customer asks how to best store cheese. I knew that any answer I was going to give them would be compromising in one way or another to the integrity of their cheese. Thank the restaurant gods watching over us who inspired these fine folks to take this wild, "cheese cave at home" idea to fruition.

Just a little tweaking with the humidity control and you have perfect storage option. Also the grotto has made a show-stopping centerpiece many times that I've served cheese.

Keep up the great work team.

Amazing!

We love our grotto. It’s transformed the way we store and eat cheese. It has allowed us to age different varieties and the difference in taste and texture is really amazing. We’re still working on the process but the grotto has made this experimentation fun and easy. Really can’t say enough about the cheese grotto!

Marcus, we are so happy to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to review, and we'd love hear more about your cheese aging adventures as well.

Better care for my cheese

Living in rural Alaska has it's challenges. Food is expensive and not as readily available as in urban areas. Most of the cheese here is either preshredded or sold in rectangles.. The cheese I enjoy must be shipped and now my new cheese grotto will take exceptional care of it.
The wood is gorgeous, set up was easy and well explained in the booklet that was included. I am now learning how to care for my cheese and am able to serve it to friends in a beautiful format.
Thank you for such a lovely addition to my culinary arsenal. I am looking forward to my first shipment of cheese from your company.

Susan, this is amazing! We're so happy to have you join the Cheese Grotto community.
