Detailed Description

• Two removable shelves (Bamboo or Black Resin with soapstone chalk)
• 1 handcrafted clay brick for humidity control
• Vaulted ceiling for condensation control
• 2 oz bottle of mineral oil
• Holds up to 6 pounds of cheese
• Bamboo material does not warp and is 3x stronger than solid oak
• Plexi-glass paneling for easy viewing
• Made in the USA
• Handwash only

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 door 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.

-Allan, Cheese Grotto Fresco Owner

Loving the Cheese Grotto!

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?

The Best Cheese Accessory I have ever had!

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!

LOVE my grotto!

LOVE my grotto! Perfect size to comfortably fit 4 hunks of cheese. I leave mine in the fridge and keep a cheese knife on top (for impromptu snacking).

Grotto Classico is fun for the cheese afficionado

We are enjoying this so far. Have some cheese still in and it is going strong. Fun for the cheese afficionado.

Cheese grotto

The grotto is a game changer. Love it. Regarding the black resin cheese knife: it does not cut hard cheeses, like reggiano very well. It crushes, rather than cuts, plus the edge chipped when cutting the hard cheese. I suspect it is best for soft cheeses. No matter, will stick with traditional steel cheese knife for cutting hard cheeses.

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.

No longer afraid to spring for that "expensive" wheel of cheese.

The Cheese Grotto has definitely taken my cheese appreciation to the next level. Have always been hesitant to try decadent cheeses because of how finicky they can be with improper storage. No longer! There's a whole new world of cheeses that I am now able to explore and can rest easy knowing I don't have to scarf the whole thing in a day or two.

Wow thank you Colby, this is exactly what we want to hear! Our goal at Cheese Grotto is to make the experience of cheese that much greater and we are overjoyed when we succeed!

Beautiful and Incredibly Well Made

The cheese grotto is a beautiful addition to my kitchen and I look forward to showing it off on the countertop when I have guests over. It's incredibly well made and keeps my cheeses at their best!

Thank you, Alec! We're so happy you're enjoying your Grotto.

Mystery solved!

Cheese has always been a true love of mine. I've always wondered how to store it though. Enter the Cheese Grotto! Mystery solved! An elegant and useful solution to storing cheese.

There is no cooler way to preserve cheese

There is no cooler way to preserve cheese, keep it, and present it, than with the darn Grotto.

Great Addition to my home

I ordered the Classic Cheese Grotto early in January, and I received it earlier than promised. Although, when I inspected the grotto, it had a small crack in the glass on one side. I contacted Jessica, and she immediately answered me and sent out a new grotto that day! The grotto is so functional, attractive and has become a great conversational piece. I have been using the grotto for over 2 weeks now with artisanal cheeses, and the grotto has preserved and enhanced the cheeses. I am sure that I will pay for this grotto by not having to toss cheese out. I highly recommend the cheese grotto for any serious cheese lover. I also commend Jessica on her customer service!!!!

Who could ask for anything more?

Just wanted to share a few photos & thank Jessica Sennett for her help online with all my questions. Not only is this a beautiful & well made item. It fits perfectly in the bottom of my wine fridge! 🧀🍷 Who could ask for anything more?

The Grotto really is fabulous

Just a quick note of continuing appreciation for your wonderful Grotto. I spoke w/ you a couples of years ago when considering purchase.

We’ve been super happy and passed along to friends who have purchased.

Thought you might get a kick out of knowing that I have been storing in the Grotto several nice chunks of Rogue River Blue..... the Worlds #1 rated cheese for 2019 !!! I ordered direct from the creamery early October BEFORE the competition in Italy!!!

Served on my 70th Birthday November 4 along with 27 year old bottle of Taylor Fladgate vintage port ...... rated 100/100 by Robert Parker!!!!!!!!

The Grotto really is fabulous allowing us to draw out the timeframe and multiple occasions that we can enjoy great cheeses at their best.

We absolutely love our Cheese Grotto.

We absolutely love our Cheese Grotto. It does an amazing job and we are having so much fun trying new-to-us cheeses. Both of us are originally from WI, and have always been cheese lovers, but the grotto has allowed us even more freedom and exploration on the cheese front. We are uncertain how we lived so long without this ingenious product!

Fantastic!!!

I received my Cheese Grotto as a Christmas gift from my husband in 2016, and I LOVE it!! I fell in love with cheese after my first bite of Kraft Mac and Cheese as a 2 year old. Thankfully, my appreciation and exposure to other cheeses has expanded since then (although a bowl of Kraft Mac and Cheese still makes me giddy). As I started exploring different cheeses and visiting cheese shops- I found it difficult to store these (sometimes quite pricey) cheeses for any amount of time. The Cheese Grotto is fantastic- it keeps my blocks of cheese fresher for longer periods of time, unwrapped in all their glory. It is very well built- solid and attractive both in the refridge and on the counter. I love how easy it is to maintain and take care of. It is a bit of a splurge- but it is so well built, I know that I will have it forever and I ended up throwing out so many cheeses that went bad prior to using the CG. Hands down, one of my all-time favorite gifts!!!

Cheese grotto changed my life-because my life is cheese.

Cheese grotto changed my life-because my life is cheese. I have tried every cheese wrap, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Most of the time my fridge consisted of tiny squares of cheese forgotten in corners of vegetable drawers and with immense guilt I threw out remnants of cheese regularly. Since getting the cheese grotto, not one bite of cheese has gone to waste. Not only does it keep cheese immensely fresh, for longer than I thought possible, but it also beautifully displays my cheeses so I never forget about a single piece. It is a work of art and a conversation piece anytime guests are over and I always pull it out to show off my cheeses. I can't imagine how I ever lived without it- the amount of cheese it has saved me has more than made up for the investment and I love opening the fridge and seeing it every day.

Flavorful cheese available at room temperature at any time

The obvious benefit is having flavorful cheese available at room temperature at any time. Frankly I could never remember to take the cheese out of the fridge sufficiently in advance of the time I wanted to eat it to allow it to warm up. Perhaps the only downside is that I find I am eating more cheese since it is so easy to open up the Grotto and nip off a chunk while passing by. As a result, the longest I have had a cheese In the Grotto is probably 5-6 days at the most.

I love everything about it

I received my Cheese Grotto as a gift from my mother-in-law. I love my cheese grotto so, so much. I love everything about it—how beautifully its made, how nicely it keeps my cheeses, how perfectly it fits into the fridge, how easy it is to serve cheese since we no longer need to dig through lots of packages in a drawer, but can see exactly what we have and just slide the tray out to get to it. The brick with my initials gilded the lily—it makes me happy every time I take it out for a quick soak. This was one of the best (and most surprising) gifts I’ve ever received. I hope your business thrives.

I LOVE not having to unwrap and rewrap cheeses each time

I bought it for my cheese-loving, early adopter husband, and was at first not sure I would end up loving it at least as much as he does, but I do! The design is beautiful, it is extremely well made, and most importantly, it keeps cheeses in great condition far far longer than I imagined possible. I LOVE not having to unwrap and rewrap cheeses each time we take them out. I love not having to throw out cheese that’s gotten hard or moldy after only a brief time. I love being able to see all our cheeses at a glance. We are thrilled with the Cheese Grotto and very impressed with it so far!

Say Cheese...Grotto!

Keep it in the refrigerator or on your countertop where it is quite a conversation starter. Fill it with luscious cheeses and have a party!

Amazing Idea

Love my Cheese Grotto. It is very attractive and keeps my cheeses at the optimum temperature. I got tired of throwing out dried out cheese but that’s not the case with this clever box. The fact that it’s made of sustainable materials and also made in the USA was also a big draw for me. A great gift for the cheese lovers in your life. Go for it. You won’t be disappointed.
