Cheese Grotto Classico
Inspired by the caves used for centuries by cheesemakers to store their wheels and wares, this cheese grotto is aptly designed to preserve the food’s freshness, aroma and taste using natural materials and careful climate control. It’s handmade from breathable bamboo wood to prevent premature molding and contains a clay brick humidifier on the bottom that, when soaked in water regularly, regulates moisture (no more crumbly cheese!). A vaulted ceiling makes for ideal airflow and condensation control, while an adjustable back panel promotes extra breathability. Plus, you won’t waste any more plastic wrap on cheese that’ll only make it slimy. The Grotto Classico is the most similar to a cheese cave out of the grotto collection; it can hold up to 8 pounds of cheese and will fit well in a medium-large-sized refrigerator. Its two removable shelves help to accommodate wheels and wedges of all sizes, while the plexiglass windows and pull-down door let you easily access and keep an eye on your cheese. And for budding cheese makers, this grotto can also be used to age homemade cheeses thanks to its air channels. Includes a 2oz bottle of mineral oil to help care for the wood.

Olive Spoons—Set of 3
Everyone should have a set of these colander spoons. The unique deep shape and small, evenly distributed holes make this utensil perfect for fishing olives and cocktail onions out of jars, straining tea bags or tea leaves and other applications where you might need to scoop something out of liquid and let it drain. We love using these in our kitchen for skimming gravy, stocks or sauces that need it.
Eat This Yum Balsamic Caramelized Onions Jam
A little sweet, a little savory, this Balsamic Caramelized Onion spread from Eat This Yum is a cheese board’s best friend. Two varieties of onion, Vidalia and red—paired for well-rounded flavor—are diced and cooked down with balsamic vinegar. The onions get jammy but stay intact for a chutney-like texture—unlike some jams that can feel overly gelatinous. And it’s surprisingly well balanced: Balsamic vinegar shines in this, cutting through the jam’s sweetness for tang and umami. Made with just five simple ingredients, this versatile onion jam pairs well with a variety of savory recipes.
Tastëlanghe Hazelnut Dark Chocolate Spread
Incredibly hard to find in the U.S., Tonda Gentile hazelnuts are considered some of the best in the world. Grown exclusively in the Langhe area of Piedmont, Italy, Tastëlanghe has been producing them since 1891. In their Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Nocciola Dark), those renowned hazelnuts turn into a creamy, rich, sweet dark chocolate spread. Light in texture but deep in flavor, this spread has just a hint of dark chocolate and intense notes of roasted hazelnuts. It’s like Nutella, but less dense, far more flavorful, and with only natural ingredients. Use it to spoon onto ice cream, cakes, cookies, or any baked good or anywhere you would Nutella, spread on toast, or eat straight from the jar!
Boska Pizza and Cheese Rocker
Perfect for thick-crust pizzas, focaccia and aged cheese, we love the Boska Pizza and Cheese Rocker. After testing six different pizza slicers to find our favorite, we found this one excelled in cutting through even the thickest pizzas. Its uniquely designed shape features a long, slightly curved blade that cuts on the first swipe and doesn’t require much elbow grease. The nonstick cutter also features two comfortable oak handles, one on each side so you can keep your hands far from the sharp blade and still get extra leverage when cutting. Best of all? It’s not just made for pizza. This rocker also can tackle aged cheeses like cheddar, Parmesan or Gouda.
J.K. Adams 1761 Collection Round Serving Board
This round serving board is part of the J.K. Adams 1761 Collection, a line that honors the year the company’s home base, Dorset, Vermont was incorporated.

Plus, when it’s not in use, it makes a great piece of decor.
J.K. Adams Maple Artisan Plank Serving Board
The most popular board in J.K. Adams’ lineup, this Maple Artisan Plank Serving Board gives the feel of a vintage piece but guarantees durability that will last a lifetime. It’s made from North American hardwood and finished with tinted tung oil—a food-safe drying oil made from the seed of the tung tree used to finish wood and give it a polished, deeper look. Use to plate cheese, charcuterie, sweets, appetizers, small bites, bread and more, or keep on display when not in use for a beautiful decor piece.
Koy Pantry Figs in Syrup
Tender and sweet, preserved in a warmly spiced syrup, Koy Pantry’s Figs in Syrup are unlike most other fig products on the market. Made with whole young Turkish figs, the fruit is quick-pickled, then cooked down and preserved in a glossy, pourable syrup spiked with cloves. Unlike fig jams and preserves where the fruit falls apart, Koy Pantry’s figs remain firm with a satisfying chew—so you can serve them whole on a cheese board or chop them up to add to pizza. Sweet and earthy with a slight tartness, they pair well with both strong and mild cheese and salty cured meats; can be added to desserts, cakes and crumbles or stirred into tangy yogurt. Or use just the syrup—it’s delicious drizzled on a panini, stirred into a cocktail or swirled into oatmeal.

Tenorio Tuna Fillet in Olive Oil
Line caught around the Azores, a carefully managed group of Portuguese islands in the North Atlantic, Tenorio’s Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil are nothing like the canned tuna you’re used to. Tender and moist, this tuna is cut into large pieces before being packed in buttery extra virgin olive oil. Lightly salted with a briny, clean fish flavor, each tender cut is just as good on its own as it is added to a salad or sandwich. Established in 1880, Tenorio sustainably fishes all of their skipjack tuna and is committed to maintaining a healthy ocean wildlife population.
Aldo Armato Carciofini Artichokes in Olive Oil
The Armato family has been producing fine Italian products, from olive oil and condiments to preserved vegetables and pastas, at their mill in Liguria, Italy, for five generations. Their artichokes are silky, rich and tender, lacking the astringent, acidic and sometimes metallic flavor that canned artichokes have. They are packed in fruity, high-quality olive oil, also made by the Armato family, which gives the artichokes a lovely, smooth texture. Enjoy them on their own, or add to an antipasto board, mix into pasta and salads, or use as a pizza topping. And any leftover olive oil works well for cooking and finishing.

In their Hazelnut (Nocciola) Caramel, those renowned hazelnuts turn into a creamy, rich, sweet caramelly spread with a hint of salt. Light in texture but deep in flavor, this spread is full of caramel flavor from a mixture of caramelized hazelnuts and milk that is cooked down to perfection. It’s like dulce de leche, but less dense and far more flavorful. Spoon it onto ice cream, cakes, cookies, or any baked good, spread on toast or eat straight from the jar!
