Beech Food Storage Cupboard with Aluminium Mesh – Insect-Protected Storage, 4 Sizes

This solid beech food storage cupboard has aluminium mesh on its sides and door. It protects food from insects while allowing continuous airflow – essential for natural storage at room temperature. Available in 4 sizes, from a compact small model to a large cellar model, it suits a range of storage needs. Its 2 hinged doors and carrying handle make it both practical and portable.

In the tradition of old-fashioned food storage cupboards, this piece lets you keep fruit, vegetables, cheese and dried meats outside the fridge, in conditions that support their natural ageing and gradual ripening.

Which size should I choose?

The 29x29x25cm model suits two people with moderate daily use – a few pieces of fruit and one or two cheeses. The 39x39x29cm model suits a family of 3–4. The 49x47x39cm model is the most versatile size for families who buy groceries in bulk. The large 59x29x39cm model is designed for cellars and pantries, for weekly provisions.

Storage advice

Place the food storage cupboard somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. Do not store strongly scented foods (washed-rind cheeses) alongside delicate fruit (strawberries, peaches), as their aromas can transfer. Hang dried meats and cured meats from a hook fixed near the top of the cupboard rather than laying them flat on a shelf.

Care

Wipe the inside with a cloth lightly dampened with vinegar to neutralise lingering odours. Clean the aluminium mesh with soapy water and a soft brush. Do not immerse the cupboard. The beech can be treated annually with food-safe oil to maintain its natural appearance.

WoodUp tip

Place a sheet of brown paper or a clean tea towel on the shelves to absorb residual moisture from cheese and make weekly cleaning easier. Keep soft-ripened cheeses (Camembert, Brie) in their original boxes to prevent ammonia from the rind spreading throughout the cupboard.

Good to know before buying: this food storage cupboard is suitable for short- to medium-term storage (a few days to 1–2 weeks, depending on the food) at a cool room temperature. It does not replace a cheese-ageing cellar for cheeses that need several weeks to mature.

Frequently asked questions

Does this food storage cupboard protect against mice and other rodents?

Under normal indoor conditions, the fine aluminium mesh protects against insects and small rodents. If using the cupboard in a garage or cellar where rodents are known to be present, take extra precautions – determined mice may gnaw through the wood itself.

Can medicines or non-food items be stored in this cupboard?

Yes. The food storage cupboard can also be used to store medicines, essential oils, garden products or other items that need a cool place protected from insects. If you use it for these items, avoid storing them alongside food.

How does it differ from the plywood food storage cupboard kit?

The beech food storage cupboard is made from solid wood – heavier and more durable, with a traditional look. The plywood food storage cupboard kit is lighter and comes in 3 modular, stackable sizes – more practical for small spaces or tighter budgets.

Can this food storage cupboard be used outdoors?

No. Untreated solid beech is intended for indoor use and deteriorates quickly when directly exposed to the elements. For a food storage cupboard on a terrace or in an outdoor cellar, you need treated wood or another outdoor-suitable material.
