Beech Cheese Cupboard 22x25x19 cm – Natural Storage with Insect-Proof Mesh

This tabletop cheese cupboard in solid beech measures 22x25x19 cm and keeps cheese at room temperature, protected from insects and with optimal ventilation. Its insect-proof aluminium mesh protects the cheese while letting air circulate freely – essential for ripening and storage at room temperature. Its 2 tiers let you separate hard cheeses from soft or blue cheeses.

Unlike refrigeration, which dries out cheese and halts ripening, this cheese cupboard maintains the ideal conditions for cheese to continue developing its flavours naturally.

✓ Storage without refrigeration – preserves natural ripening

Storage tips

Place the cheese cupboard somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight – a temperature between 10 and 15°C is ideal. Keep it away from heat sources (radiators and ovens) and strongly scented foods (onions and garlic), which can affect the cheeses’ aromas.

For soft cheeses (Camembert, Brie and Munster), wrap them in their original paper before placing them in the cheese cupboard – this helps prevent the rind from drying out. Hard cheeses (Comté, Emmental and Beaufort) keep very well unwrapped in the cheese cupboard, with their protective rind intact.

Care

Wipe the inside with a damp cloth after each use. To remove lingering odours from washed-rind or blue cheeses, rub the inside surfaces with half a lemon, then wipe dry. Do not immerse in water or put in the dishwasher. The beech can be lightly treated with food-grade oil once a year to maintain its natural appearance.

WoodUp tip

For best storage, turn soft cheeses every 2 days – this prevents the underside from sticking and helps them ripen evenly. A sheet of cheese wrapping paper on the bottom shelf reduces residue and makes cleaning easier.

Before you buy: this cheese cupboard is suitable for short-term storage (a few days) at room temperature. For longer ripening (several weeks), a cheese cellar or a ventilated cellar at 10–12°C offers better conditions.

Frequently asked questions

How many cheeses can this 22x25 cm cheese cupboard hold?

With 2 tiers measuring 22x25 cm each, this cheese cupboard 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 eats a wide variety of cheeses, the beech food cupboard offers more space.

Is beech free from flavours and odours that could affect cheese?

Yes. Beech is a very fine-grained, low-porosity wood that is naturally neutral in taste. It has no perceptible odour of its own and does not transfer flavours to food. That is why it is commonly used for kitchen utensils and food-contact products.

Does this cheese cupboard protect against flies and midges?

Yes. The aluminium mesh protects against common flying insects (flies, midges and fruit flies). It does not form an airtight barrier against very small insects or mites – in those cases, refrigeration is preferable.

What is the difference between this cheese cupboard and the beech food cupboard?

The 22x25x19 cm cheese cupboard is a compact tabletop option designed to hold 4 to 6 cheeses for everyday use. The beech food cupboard is a larger unit (available in several sizes) with hinged doors, designed to store fruit, vegetables and cured meats too. For storing only cheese on a table, the cheese cupboard is sufficient.

Can this cheese cupboard be oiled with food-grade oil?

Yes. A light coat of linseed oil or neutral food-grade oil (sunflower or grapeseed), applied once or twice a year, keeps the beech conditioned and makes cleaning easier. Use food-grade oils only – industrial finishing oils are not suitable for food contact.
