Boxcarr Handmade Cheese | Robiola-Style Duo
Long Description
Cottonbell, 14 oz - This large format Robiola-style cheese is absolutely gorgeous and spreadable when ripe. With its fluffy white coat and yellow, grass-fed paste, this is enough cheese for a family of four when paired with fruit and crackers. Delicious with a sparkling cider, white wine, or Lambrusco.
Milk: Pasteurized Cow Milk
Rennet: Microbial Rennet
Age: 2 to 9 weeks maximum
Rockets Robiola, 14oz - Somewhere between a vegetable-ashed, Loire Valley, bloomy rind and a Piedmontese Robiola, these beauties pack as much flavor onto a cheeseboard as they do appearance. Dusted in vegetable ash before developing a doughy, wrinkled rind, the pasteurized cow milk begins tangy, bright and chalky, but continuously breaks down from week to week into a slow, oozing paste with notes of butter-roasted mushroom and toasted almond (see images of both a young and older Rocket's Robiola).
Milk: Pasteurized Cow Milk
Rennet: Microbial Rennet

The sister-brother duo and their extended family have made the cheese dream a reality. Their cheeses are inspired by small Italian farmstead creameries. Alongside their own herd of mixed breed dairy goats, Boxcarr sources local milk from a few small family-owned dairies who raise their cows with the greatest of care and highest standards. Their dedication to family and community comes through in every bite.

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.
The Cheese Grotto is a must have for anyone who loves cheese. Looks stunning and keeps all of your cheeses in perfect condition.
Great insulated packaging arrived with cold packs still partially frozen. My favorite aged cheese.
Excellent quality and service. Everyone was pleased with their gifts. Thank you.
Too good for words!
I ordered 2 more for the holidays.
We splurge once a year on very fine cheeses - the Rogue River Blue is regularly on the top of the list. It arrived in excellent condition, taste, texture, and aroma, all sublime. Rave reviews/comments from our friends (they seem very willing to appear for a cheese and wine gathering, hum....) Thanks to the folks at the Cheese Grotto for making such wonderful wedges available. cheers, Fred
I will always buy this cheese. It’s one of my favorites and has been for years! Take it out of the fridge about an hour before serving it so it’s room temperature and super creamy when serving. It’s really good on apple slices or on crackers. I sometimes eat it on Triscuits and the added salt is soooo good with the woody flavor of the cheese. 10/10
