Capabunga Cheese Vault Food Storage Box, Orange

We love cheese and we make cheese so this is a real value for us. I can't believe I didn't know about this. Keeps cheese fresh for a long time and you can put two different types in the vault without ruining the flavor of the cheeses. This make a great gift.

First off, I had no idea storing cheese was so complicated. I'm trying to use fewer plastic storage bags, so I started the journey of finding a good way to store cheese. I don't buy fancy cheeses at all, just regular blocks of cheddar from the supermarket. I cut up the blocks for handy snacking and need a container to store them in. I tried several different types, all with their own pitfalls. Plastic bags are wasteful and the cheese tends to get mushy. I tried a Rubbermaid Brilliance container (which are awesome) but moisture accumulated and the cheese molded. So I did some research and came across these containers.I bought two - one white for my sharp white cheddar and one yellow for my sharp yellow cheddar. I know, clever right??? These containers are a bit on the small side, but a 16 oz/1 lb block of cheese fits in just fine. The lids fit snugly but don't seal, which is the point with storing cheese (as I have so recently learned). These containers are easy to clean and are compact enough that they fit in the crisper drawer or in the shelves in the door.So far, I haven't had any mold issues and the sliced cheese hasn't dried out. These are pretty expensive, especially if you aren't into fancy cheese. But they seem to do the trick of keeping sliced cheese fresh for an extended period of time. In that respect, they are doing what I purchased them for - I just think the price is a bit on the high side.That being said, depending on your circumstances this is a pretty good item.

honestly, the cheeses stay fresh and in great condition. I've had my vault for a few weeks now and I've tried a few different cheeses in there - they all sit happily in there (couple of different cheddar cheeses, some camembert and a pecorino with truffle). I don't have to use baking paper to wrapt them and I haven't had to trim off any mouldy parts either. I might get a second one because I box won't fit all the cheeses at once. I do wish that Amazon would sell the spare dividers in their range.

After using this for a month I am very happy with my purchase. I love cheese, but I am in a household with only two people, so we are slow to finish a whole block/wheel of cheese before it expires. I cringe every time I would find out the cheese went moldy before I could finish it. This container doesn’t look like anything special, but it totally is! Can it really make that much of a difference? YES! I tried it out with a blue cheese that I regularly buy so I know how long it typically stays fresh for. Because I used this, it stayed fresh way longer than it ever has before. I’m going to buy another one to store more cheeses in.

Fit the purpose, keeps the cheese fresh.Just one divider, would have been great if at least 2.
