Parmesan Cheese Keeper Storage Box

A fine piece of Parmesan deserves better than a hastily wrapped sheet of cling film. The Parmesan Cheese Keeper Storage Box by Snips stores Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano and Pecorino in the fridge the way a great cheese should be kept: airtight, aroma-protected and with a wink of Italian charm. The patented storage system is recommended by the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium for storing the famous cheese – an accolade very few kitchen helpers can claim. With a capacity of 0.9 L, the box holds a generous wedge including the rind, while the lid shaped like a piece of cheese reveals at first glance which treasure is waiting inside. The cheese stays fresh, flavourful and ready for grating for weeks.

Anyone who cooks Italian food regularly knows the problem: once cut, hard cheese quickly dries out in foil, turns crumbly at the edges and picks up foreign odours in the fridge – from onions to leftover raclette. Inside the cheese keeper, none of this happens. The airtight seal locks the intense aroma in and keeps unwanted smells out. After cooking pasta, the remaining wedge simply goes back into the box, the lid closes tightly, done. The container also performs well at aperitivo time: take the cheese out, shave a few flakes, serve – and the rest stays protected. Thanks to compact dimensions of 22 x 12 x 7 cm, the box fits into any fridge, whether in the crisper drawer or on a shelf.

The container is made of food-safe, 100 % recyclable plastic – Made in Italy. It is not only suitable for the fridge but also freezer-safe down to −18 °C: perfect for freezing cheese in portions or collecting rinds for the next minestrone. Cleaning is handled by the dishwasher; only the microwave is off limits. Weighing just 0.17 kg, the box is pleasantly light and easy to take along to a picnic or a dinner invitation. Whether as a practical upgrade for the kitchen or an original gift for Italy lovers, home cooks and cheese enthusiasts – this fresh-keeping box combines clever function with a charming design that makes the next pasta dish taste even better.

Tips for keeping cheese fresh for longer:

• Store in one piece: grate Parmesan just before serving – a whole wedge keeps its aroma and moisture much longer.
• Save the rind: keep cheese rinds in the box and simmer them later in minestrone or risotto for extra depth of flavour.
• Freeze in portions: divide larger wedges and freeze them in the container at −18 °C – ideal for spontaneous pasta nights.
• Serve at room temperature: take the cheese out of the fridge about 30 minutes before serving so the full aroma can unfold.
• Pat dry before storing: briefly dab the cheese dry before putting it away to keep the climate inside the box ideal.
