The lid keeps the cut face from drying

Ceramic holds temperature from fridge to table

Doubles as a covered butter dish

Cheese wrapped in the plastic it came in dries at the cut face and takes on the smell of everything else on the shelf. A lidded ceramic box fixes both: the lid keeps the air off, and ceramic does not pass on flavours the way plastic does after a few months of use. It is one of those pieces that is obviously worth it about a week in.

Ceramic also holds its temperature, which matters more than it sounds. Take the box out twenty minutes before dinner and the cheese comes up to eating temperature gradually and stays there through the meal, instead of sweating on a warm board. The same box works for butter, where the point is the opposite: keeping it cool and covered on a counter rather than hard in a fridge.

It goes from fridge to table without decanting, which is the whole reason to own one rather than a container. Choose black or white, small or large, and there is a butter knife add-on if you want the pair. Small suits a single wedge or a block of butter; large takes a board worth. Wipe clean or wash by hand; the lid seats better on a dry rim.

Lidded Ceramic Cheese Keeper with the lid on, keeping cheese covered

The Lid Does The Work

Cheese dries at the cut face the moment it sits in loose plastic. The lid keeps the air off and the fridge smells out, so the second week tastes like the first.

Cheese At Eating Temperature

Ceramic holds its temperature, so the box can come out twenty minutes before dinner and bring the cheese up gradually. It stays there through the meal instead of sweating on a warm board.

Fridge To Table, No Decanting

The box goes straight from the shelf to the table, which is the whole reason to own one rather than a container. ZELVIVO makes it in black or white, small for a single wedge, large for a board worth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it really keep cheese better than the wrapper it came in?

Yes. The wrapper leaves the cut face open to dry air and to everything else on the shelf. The lid closes that off, so the cheese keeps its own moisture and its own smell. Most people notice the difference about a week in.

Which size should I choose?

Small takes a single wedge or a block of butter. Large takes a board worth, so several pieces at once. If you buy cheese for one or two people, small is the one. If you put out a board for guests, go large.

Can I use it for butter instead of cheese?

Yes, and it works well. On the counter it keeps butter cool and covered, so it stays spreadable rather than going hard in the fridge. There is a butter knife add on if you want the pair.

Does ceramic pick up flavours over time?

No. That is one of the main reasons to move off plastic, which takes on smells after a few months of use. Ceramic gives the cheese nothing back, so a strong blue one week does not turn up in a mild cheddar the next.

How do I clean it?

Wipe it clean or wash it by hand. Dry the rim before the lid goes back on, because the lid seats better on a dry rim. That is the whole routine.
