Great Replacement Components

We love our little cheese groto but the shelf had seen better days. It’s great to be able to replace just the components that need replacing. Now we’re good as new!

Everything and more!

The cheese grotto arrived with lightning speed and it’s even better than I imagined! I got the piatto model, but it’s still big! Holds a ton of cheese. ¡Viva cheese grotto!

A Unique Gift Idea

I was looking for a special gift for a fellow cheese lover and came across the Grotto! It was exactly what I was looking for, on multiple levels. Purchase process was easy, and customer service was quick and attentive when I had questions. Unfortunately at this point I can't speak to how effective the grotto is in storing cheese as my friend has not put it to use yet!! Presuming all goes as expected, I will be coming back to buy another for me, and as gifts for other friends!!

I just love it!

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.

Better than I had hoped for

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!

Cheese Grotto Piatto Is Perfect!

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!

Jordan! This review in incredible, thank you so much for leaving it. This is truly everything we strive for with our product, and when we hear about people having the exact experience we want, there is nothing better. I always say that not only is the Grotto a storage solution that works, it also helps you understand cheese more, and helps you discover a new appreciation for the complexity and lifespan of this fantastic food.

Great Customer Service

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.

Yess! This is definitely our goal to help folks explore new cheese types, we are so happy to hear that's how you are using your Grotto!

I love my Grotto Piatto!!

I love my Grotto Piatto!!! I have had it for almost 2 months now and I use it continually. It is ingeniously constructed, simple to snap together, and is beautiful on my countertop, as well as, in my refrigerator. I am now more intensely aware of the day to day changes that happen to my cheeses at room temperature and cold. I am learning to get my cheeses to peak flavor - hard and soft cheeses. With the help of my Piatto, my taste in varieties of cheese keep growing. I'm now looking to expand my Grotto collection!!!

Catherine, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, we're so happy that the Grotto has transformed the way you enjoy cheese at home: that is the goal and inspiration!

Wonderful Gift

I received this as part of my Valentine's Giveaway with Cheese Grotto and have loved using it and looks great in my refrigerator. As soon as I received it, which was so easy and fun to put together, I went out to get some new cheese. Just love it and definitely has made my Valentine's Day and continues to make my day with cheese and sausage I won and of course a glass of wine. 😉 Thank you also for my cheese and cacao chocolate which was an added bonus.🥰 Highly recommend and such a wonderful and amazing product.

Classic Reminder

The Piazzo sits on a cabinet in my studio apartment and it has one job: keep my Parmesan cheese at the proper temperature. I like to buy a good sized piece, allowing it to mature over a month or three. I received my Piazzo just before en extended season of traveling. Three months in and the Parmesan is in great shape. My favorite dinner guest has noted improvements in taste every few weeks. And because it looks so good sitting there in the open, I see it and am happy; and it also means I use Parmesan more often than I had when it was hidden away in the refrigerator. Also, keeping it at the right temperature prevents clumping caused by condensation. The humidity brick also keeps it at a moisture level is healthier for the cheese and me. It looks good, keeps cheese better -- what's not to love?

Life is better with a Cheese Grotto in your home!

We absolutely love our Cheese Grotto. We love the design and functionality. It's a great conversation piece too.
We live in AZ so we keep ours in the fridge, but we can totally see this as a fun counter cheese cave if we lived in cooler climates.
We actually experimented with a clothbound Jasper Hill cheddar. We left it in our cheese cave for over a month. The resulting flavor was exponentially amazing and it embarked a sweeter, caramel-like flavor profile.
Great as a gift or personal use for your favorite cheese aficionado!

This is super cool, Mahfam! We love to hear stories like this.

Great for desk lunches

I have a Cheese Grotto at home, but I use the Piatto at work. I enjoy aging small goat cheeses on my desk over a couple of days and sharing them with my colleagues. It's also quite the conversation piece.

Beauty and Function

We purchased the Cheese Grotto Piatto to offer our retail customers a beautiful quality product to help keep their cheese in excellent condition. The Piatto is a perfect size, and excellent price. As people try to waste less, this small little box is a great addition to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Thank you, Agela!

Perfect Size

I was looking for something small enough for just one small round of Cowgirl Creamery and the Piatto is it! It sits in my refrigerator and on occasions that I am at Whole Foods, I pick up some Mt Tam and I can take out just enough. The remainder stays in my fridge and keeps fresh.

Thank you, Allen! We're so happy it's the perfect size.

Gorgeous and Sturdy

This is a very unique item that's perfect for the chef or cheese connoisseur in your family! This is gorgeous and sturdy. The thing I didn't expect about the item was how fun it is to assemble thanks to built-in magnets; the sides snap together seamlessly with no effort at all and can be easily dismantled, which I'll bet will be great for cleaning!

your Cheese Grotto is just brilliant

I want to say this smaller version of your Cheese Grotto is just brilliant. It is so easy to put together and take it apart due to the magnets which are attached to each wooden part. Especially when you have a small kitchen. When I am finished, I just take it apart and place it in my kitchen drawer,. I love it and highly recommend this item.
