Table cheese keeper in solid beech with anti-insect aluminium mesh. Dimensions 22x25x19cm, 2 levels. Continuous ventilation, insect protection. Holds 2 to 4 cheeses. Compatible with beech cheese board 35x23cm (sold separately). Solid beech supplied unfinished. Maintenance: wipe dry or with a slightly damp cloth, dry immediately. Compact format suited to the worktop or table for storing and presenting cheeses at room temperature.
This table cheese keeper in solid beech measures 22x25x19 cm and allows cheeses to be stored at room temperature, protected from insects and in optimal ventilation conditions. Its anti-insect aluminium mesh protects the cheeses while allowing air to circulate freely — an essential condition for ripening and storage at room temperature. Its 2 levels allow hard cheeses to be separated from soft or blue-veined cheeses.
Unlike refrigerator storage, which dries out cheeses and halts their ripening, this cheese keeper maintains the ideal conditions for cheeses to continue developing their aromas naturally.

Place the cheese keeper in a cool spot away from direct sunlight — a temperature between 10 and 15°C is ideal. Avoid proximity to heat sources (radiator, oven) or strongly scented items (onions, garlic) that can alter the aromas of the cheeses.
For soft cheeses (camembert, brie, munster), wrap them in their original paper before placing them in the cheese keeper — this limits drying of the rind. Hard cheeses (comté, emmental, beaufort) keep very well unwrapped in the cheese keeper, with their protective rind intact.
Wipe the inside with a damp cloth after each use. To eliminate persistent odours (washed-rind cheeses, blues), rub the interior walls with half a lemon then wipe dry. Do not immerse in water or put in the dishwasher. The beech can be lightly oiled with a food-grade oil once a year to maintain its natural appearance.
To optimise storage, turn soft cheeses over every 2 days — this prevents the underside from sticking and ensures even ripening. A sheet of cheese wrapping paper placed on the bottom shelf limits deposits and makes cleaning easier.
What to know before buying: the cheese keeper is suitable for short-term storage (a few days) at room temperature. For extended ripening (several weeks), a cheese cave or a ventilated cellar at 10–12°C provides better conditions.
With its 2 levels of 22x25cm each, this cheese keeper can hold 4 to 6 portions of cheese depending on their size — for example 2 whole camemberts, or an assortment of 4 to 6 small cheeses. For a family that consumes a wide variety of cheeses, the beech larder offers more space.
Yes. Beech is a very fine-grained wood, low in porosity and naturally neutral in taste. It has no perceptible odour of its own and transfers no flavour to food. It is for these reasons that it is commonly used in kitchen utensils and food-contact applications.
Yes. The aluminium mesh protects against common flying insects (flies, gnats, fruit flies). It does not form a hermetic barrier against very small insects or mites — in such cases, refrigerator storage remains preferable.
The 22x25x19cm cheese keeper is a compact table format, designed for 4 to 6 cheeses on a daily basis. The beech larder is a larger-capacity piece of furniture (several sizes available) with hinged doors, designed to store fruits, vegetables and charcuterie as well. For exclusively cheese use on the table, the cheese keeper is sufficient.
Yes. A light coat of linseed oil or neutral food-grade oil (sunflower, grapeseed) applied once or twice a year keeps the beech hydrated and makes cleaning easier. Use exclusively food-grade oils — industrial finishing oils are not suitable for food contact.
