Fresco/Mezzo Black Board

$30.00
off
The Fresco Black board is a sustainable and indestructible work of art. The black board material is incredibly durable and made from resin-infused paper, is naturally anti-microbial (prevents mold growth), dishwasher safe, and does not break. The Black Board is as handsome as it is long-lasting, and can be used as a shelf in the Grotto Fresco or the Grotto Mezzo, or for serving cheese at dinner. Included with each order is a beautiful piece of soapstone chalk, so you can record your cheese selection on the board.  It's like slate, but stronger.

Please note: the boards are sold individually as they fit both a one shelf and two shelf Grotto model.  If you'd like two boards, please place an order for 2!

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

Great thing since sliced cheese 🧀

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!

Nice idea but I misunderstood the advertising

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.

Ordered an extra brick

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

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.

Grotto 2

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.

Looks great

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!

It saved the Mozzarella!

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.

Life-changing item!

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.

Simple and Elegant

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.
