I bought the 6mos for a birthday gift and they were able to send it a day earlier so it would arrive on their birthday. Only got 1 month so far but the cheeses are yummy! Can't wait till next month arrives.
We do the quarterly delivery with Cheese Grotto and just love it, can’t wait till it gets here in Texas. Also, love when Jessica and Team throws in a little extra something in our order and to much surprise it’s exactly what pairs with the rest of the order. Can say enough on how we enjoy our Cheese Grotto orders.
I organized a virtual ricotta cheese making class for my team with Cheese Grotto, and it was great! Everyone enjoyed the class, and Jessica was very accommodating in figuring out the logistics for multiple countries.
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.
Every cheese has been excellent. I look forward to every order
We've had the Cheese Grotto for about 2 weeks. It fits perfectly in our fridge and I love this size and how much cheese it holds. The process of setting it up is simple and it already seems to work really well.
We had issues with the initial delivery and really appreciated Cheese Grotto's service. They went above and beyond! The Cheese Grotto was highly recommended by friends and we're planning to pass along the favor.
Thank you so much for your review, Annie! We are very glad that you are loving your Grotto and were pleased with our customer service. Taking care of our customers is a big priority for us. You mentioned referring Cheese Grotto to others. I am wondering if you are aware of our rewards and referrals program?

Here is a link to the page where you can create an account: https://cheesegrotto.com/pages/rewards-referrals. Thank you again for your kind words!
The cheese is great and a nice variety. But I would argue the star of the gift for me is the service and approachability. I needed to change my subscription date and that was a breeze. The ability to have a q & a with the cheese maker, grotto staff and fellow connoisseurs made this a delightful treat!
Hi Scott, we are so happy you're enjoying the subscription! Thank you for this kind review.
I realize I’m one of the very few non 5 star reviews. This cheese subscription was not worth it for me. For about 89 dollars a month, 3 cheeses of varying sizes did not blow me away. I think it’s great that cheese grotto supports small cheese makers that you might not be able to get locally - I’ve learned the i LIKE being able to discover a new cheese- and continue purchasing it.
My third box had the most variety of flavors and cheese textures and was the best of all three. So perhaps i just got started during a month the didn’t really meet my cheese tastes.
If you can afford this indulgence, try it !! There are other perhaps more pedestrian cheese delivery companies/options with price points that are more reasonable that i will continue to enjoy.
It was fun to try something new! The shipping and packaging were top notch. Customer service was also fantastic- those two things alone make the company stand out.
Hi Jessica! We are so happy you enjoyed the diversity of the cheeses, the rarity of them, our customer service, and our shipping and packaging! This is something we really strive for and what makes us stand apart from other cheese subscription services who are seeking bargain-style cheeses. It's part of the reason why some cheeses are smaller than others in a given package, as we focus on sourcing unique artisan cheeses and expanding cheesy education. We are always here if you ever want to continue to expand your cheesy journey with us. Thank you again!
I really liked the selection and how to put things like Fig jam and prosciutto with them. I particularly liked the soft cheese. Cracker or bread suggestions is also helpful.
I love this subscription! The cheese is amazing and they really taken the time to select quality items to pair. I’ve also really enjoyed the variety of cheeses sent each month. I have recieved four shopments so far and have been so pleased with all of them. The customer service is excellent- it is a company that really cares about providing quality service and products.
We so look forward to the arrival of the subscription box of cheese. The latest with Cato Corner cheeses once again did not dissappoint - absolutely wonderful cheese, perfectly packaged, and delivered ready to enjoy.
Great insulated packaging arrived with cold packs still partially frozen. My favorite aged cheese.
I’m really optimistic for my second delivery but found the first to be a little underwhelming. I’ve used other subscription services that felt like a much better value for the price. (AppyHour/Harry and David’s)
I received three cheeses. One large slice of Gouda which was very mild tasting, very crumbly/flaky.
The wooly goat cheese that had a Brie like exterior was the most exciting option we got.
The cheddar was tasty. But very tiny.
I do not subscribe with pairings, but had plenty of their suggested pairings at home already. Which were honey, pistachios and….i can’t remember the third suggestion. We did get a ‘free’ add in bonus item. Exciting ! It was a few slices of dried apples. Had it been an additional cheese we would have been thrilled and maybe that added flavor would have led to very different vibes in this review.
I did think it was pretty cool that they made tea pairing suggestions.
Based on the cheeses received and the price, i am not likely to resubscribe. But im also hoping to eat those words and be WOWd by the next few deliveries.
Thanks so much for your feedback, Jessica! We hope you enjoy February's box. The main difference between us and those other services mentioned is we are sourcing small batch cheeses with limited availability at varying price points. Woolly Rind is a Missouri sheep milk brie that is one of the few 100% sheep milk bries on the market, the LumberJack Monterey Jack style is from a small creamery in California, and the 100% goat gouda is from a regenerative goat dairy in Michigan, which is also very unique and not widely available. Due to varying price points of cheeses and milk types, and our commitment to pay the makers fairly, sometimes the wedges are smaller, and sometimes they are larger. Our bonus items also continue to rotate each shipment as well! But we understand if some of the cheeses don't speak to you, hopefully by experiencing the continued variety of American artisan cheeses available through our subscription, there will be some additional wedges and wheels you enjoy. :-)
So enjoyed our subscription at Cheese Grotto. Each new shipment was the call to style a wonderful charcuterie board for dinner. Fun for the entire family. Loved tasting new cheeses and opening the palate to new flavors.
My Wife surprised me with The Cheese Grotto Classico for Christmas. What an absolute wonderful way to store and keep our Cheeses fresh and ready to eat. We had a perfect space in our Kitchen refrigerator so it is easily & readably accessible. Our evening appetizers always consist of a unique selection of imported cheese and The Grotto makes it so easy to select the ones we want to have. I am the Italian American "Cheese Guy", always have been. Funny, there is a Chesse Shop in South Philly called the "House of Cheese", my wife says that if I lived in that House, "I'd eat out of House sand Home". If you are a Cheese Lover, GET YOURSELF A GROTTO CLASSICO!
Thank you for the glowing review! You are truely an avid turophile!
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!
I received my order right on time for the holidays
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.
Excellent quality and service. Everyone was pleased with their gifts. Thank you.
