Its bark has been wrapped as a belt around soft cheeses for even ripening and added woodsy flavor, and has been made into barrels for the aging of Greek Feta.  It’s also been used during the smoking of Idiazabal cheese. Most importantly, birch has been used as shelves for aging in caves. Its tight surface is slower to absorb and release moisture, making it excellent for long-term storage. The finished birch featured in this model is sustainably made, and non-toxic. The finish on the birch makes it mold and stain resistant, both in the interior and exterior.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe architecturally handsome bamboo is extremely resilient, sustainable, and durable over a lifetime (3 X stronger than oak).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Grotto Piatto is a one-shelf size that fits up to 1 pound of cheese of varying sizes and styles.   With a base of 6 inches by 6.5 inches and a height of 6 inches, the Grotto Piatto is an ideal storage solution for serving and storing cheeses throughout the week.  The back panel is breathable, making for a perfect climate for simple, long-term storage of wedges and wheels of cheese in the refrigerator or short term storage on the kitchen counter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more advanced models for the connoisseur, check out the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheesegrotto.com\/collections\/frontpage\/products\/cheese-grotto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGrotto Classico\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheesegrotto.com\/collections\/frontpage\/products\/cheese-grotto-fresco\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Cheese Grotto Fresco\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGrotto Fresco\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheesegrotto.com\/collections\/frontpage\/products\/cheese-grotto-mezzo\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"best cheese storage\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGrotto Mezzo\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWood has the potential to harbor bacteria and pathogens if not cleaned properly and regularly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThough Cheese Grotto’s Jessica Sennett is an expert at bringing out cheese’s best flavors, she is not an expert in food safety and she does not offer any opinion about food safety.  New York Department of Health regulations requires restaurants to store cheese at a temperature below 45 degrees F, except for up to two hours during preparation for food service. \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNothing in Cheese Grotto’s materials, including statements regarding the shelf life of cheese, is intended to (and the materials should not be interpreted to) conflict with food safety regulations and recommendations. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheese Grotto","offers":[{"title":"Birch \/ Ships Next Business Day","offer_id":34659043344550,"sku":"DC-1365","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bamboo \/ Ships Three Weeks From Purchase","offer_id":34659043377318,"sku":"DC-1367","price":145.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bamboo \/ Ships Next Business Day","offer_id":34659043410086,"sku":"DC-1366","price":145.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0396\/6543\/4790\/products\/CG_Flatpack1.gif?v=1591818751","url":"https:\/\/ben-dropcommerce.myshopify.com\/products\/cheese-grotto-piatto","provider":"DropCommerce Cafe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
