Piatto Bamboo Board

Have it my refrigerator filled with new tasty cheese every month. I just love it and the experience is one that I would not be doing since before I only ate certain familiar cheese.

I picked up a Piatto after reading about the Cheese Grotto in a recent Food & Wine article. I have regularly used cheese paper in an attempt to preserve my cheeses, and have always tossed some or much of my cheese purchases due to spoilage. I live alone, and it is difficult for me to consume all of the cheese I pick up, but I just adore artisan cheeses and can’t stop myself from bringing them home. As such, I’ve seen a lot of money end up in the bin. I also like to keep Parmigiano Reggiano on hand for many a culinary adventure, and I’m quite familiar with attempting to grate a rock hard chunk of the cheese for just such occasions. That said, the Cheese Grotto actually kept my Parmigiana Reggiano in a stable state. It did not get hard, even over several weeks, and was simply beautiful. I’ve also been very impressed with how long I’ve been able to store other cheeses using the Grotto, such as a French brie which has been sitting in there for some time. All I can say is I’m a convert! I only wish I had a larger fridge so that I could fit a larger Grotto!

This Cheese Grotto Piatto was gifted to me by my fiancée for my birthday and is by far my favorite birthday present. It looks great on the counter and keeps my cheeses fresh and allows them to off-gas and ripen naturally. I’ve found that the cheeses last even longer in the fridge than a traditional plastic wrap or wax paper. Assembly was super easy with the magnetized bamboo walls. It’s also simple to clean the Grotto when needed or break it down if it’s not being used. I can’t think of a better gift for a cheese aficionado or budding cheese lover! I’ve learned even more about cheese since getting the Grotto and it’s kept my cheeses fresh fresher longer!

Can't wait to use this as we are big cheese lovers. We had a duplicate part for our cave and received a correct replacement part very quickly.
