Grotto won't make it in time?
Don't worry! Our downloadable Grotto gift card is perfect for printing and placing under tree, or sending via email. We're sure the Grotto is worth the wait!
Mezzo Grotto Excellent for keeping cheese fresh longer. We started with a small Grotto, but I think we are going to go bigger soon! This Grotto is amazing and works better than storing your cheese in the refrigerator drawer.
Excellent Customer Service. When we emailed in regards of status of purchase, it wasn’t long the owner contacted us and gave us the update.
Excellent packaging and easy step by step instructions on what you needed to do with your Grotto once you received it.
Thank you for the great review, Alex! We love to see the photos of how our customers are enjoying the Grotto and cheese!
In order to keep cheese longer in the Grotto it to be in the refrigerator, but I don't have room in mine. It remains to be seen whether it's better than just using paper designed for keeping cheese longer.
Order was promptly and efficiently processed and shipped. The grotto arrived in perfect condition.
I ordered a spare humidity brick, which I will rotate into service when the other one needs cleaning.
The Mezzo fits nicely in my fridge and I keep parm, cheddar, and smoked gouda in it. They are keeping very nicely and for longer. I have an Aqara temp/humidity sensor inside, so I can see the stats on Home Assistant.
Amazed Great Product
Cheese Grotto Mezzo
Grotto 1 sits on the kitchen counter, next to the breadbox (at least for winter/spring!!!) to serve up instant cheese satisfaction. Grotto 2 is in the fridge, keeping next bites happy and ready to go.
Looking forward to more information about ordering your cheese individually rather than quarterly!

I gave it to my husband as a gift and he loves it too. Fits beautifully in the frig and keeps the cheese in wonderful condition/. Couldn’t be happier.
I think this is a great idea. I’ve purchased it as a gift for someone who purchases the best local and imported cheeses available. I’m sure it will be much appreciated. I had a very good experience interacting with company staff. Shipping and product were clearly communicated and arrived timely. Thank you!
Outstanding customer service: prompt, responsive, and helpful communication about products and shipping.
I like cheese, and am blessed to live in an area that has a lot of local options. The Mezzo (and I am thrilled it came with mineral oil in a quantity to maintain the birch shelf for decades) did a noteworthy job on the various cheddar and gouda cheeses that were not consumed in a single sitting. Over the three months, it is more fun to think about going back to a cheese I tasted a week ago and know it will only have gotten better, not moldy. This is an improvement over beeswax cheese covers, and a big improvement when herbed cheeses need to wait for the next tasting.
But my main hope was to keep fresh mozzarella healthy. I cook pizza and stromboli from scratch, and buy mozzarella in large logs that don't get used up in a single baking. In the past, the life of such a moist cheese was only a few days. So I'd find myself planning another baking or a caprese salad when I didn't want one, just to use the cheese and not have to perform mold surgery. I can report a two week layover left the cheese in perfect shape and moist. This is a huge win, and has made my life better. GIven the quality of construction, the even better job it does, the Mezzo is a bargain at twice the price. Literally.
Love love love highly recommend
The couple absolutely loved it and we can’t wait for the charcuteries!
Great product
Fantastic customer service and product!!!
Life is so connected to food, and especially for home-cooks, the kitchen is a focal point for much of our lives. The cheese grotto that me and my fiancée bought has *absolutely* elevated our lives. The cheese we buy never spoils now, since it's both perfectly stored and easier to access, we eat it more often, AND it lasts a lot longer!
The cheese grotto is an absolutely incredible thing. We feel like some high-class has been infused into our lives, and every time we open our fridge, we tell each other how happy we are with it. It fits SO WELL in a fridge that it feels like every fridge should have one! I'm so impressed with the invention; I've told all my coworkers about it.
Even though I've loved cheese my whole life, the cheese grotto makes me feel like cheese loves me too.
I absolutely love my cheese grotto, so chic and pretty.
We love our little Fresco/Mezzo Black Boards. We make several different kinds of artisanal terroir goat cheeses and we use the black boards as a simple and elegant way to feature them. They are also super easy to throw in a bag for road trips and picnics. Thank you Jessica.
Great product to keep your fine cheeses at the right temperature and texture to get the optimum flavor. Small footprint and nice to look at. Highly recommend it.
The Cheese Grotto is a must have for anyone loves cheese. Looks stunning and keeps all of your cheeses in perfect condition.
Does the grotto stay in the refrigerator?
Hi Stanley! If you'd like your cheese to last for weeks or months, please store the Grotto in the fridge. If you'd like to enjoy your cheese at room temperature throughout the week, you can store it at room temperature under 70 degrees F. Soft cheeses ripen more quickly than firm cheeses, so that's something to keep in mind with room temperature storage. We have a blog here that addresses these differences: https://cheesegrotto.com/blogs/journal/where-can-i-store-my-cheese-grotto
Please explain how the sliding door is easy to open in the refrigerator on the Mezzo or the fresco. You would have to take them out of the fridge not to hit the shelf above....
Hi there! Founder Jessica Sennett here! I use the Mezzo model in my refrigerator. I don't take the Grotto out of the fridge each time in order to open it. The Grotto Piatto, Mezzo, and Fresco all have a pull up door so when stored in the fridge the recommendation is to store the Grotto at the front of the fridge shelf so that there is a an ease to pull the door up without hitting the shelf above. The top shelf of a refrigerator won't work if there isn't enough height, but every other shelf within the refrigerator can work!
