Cheese cabinets to mature and serve cheese at its best
A cheese cabinet keeps cheese at a stable temperature and high humidity, the two conditions a classic refrigerator cannot provide. Cheese keeps its texture, aroma and rind, and can be matured or kept ready to serve.
Professional models suit restaurants, cheese shops and caterers; compact models bring the same conditions to a home kitchen. LuxeCave delivers across Switzerland and advises you on capacity and placement.
Frequently asked questions
What temperature and humidity does cheese need?
Most cheeses keep best between about 8 and 14 °C with 80–95 % relative humidity, depending on the type and how ripe you want it.
Why not simply use a refrigerator?
A refrigerator is too cold and too dry: cheese dries out, its rind cracks and its flavour fades. A cheese cabinet controls both temperature and humidity.
Can I store wine and cheese in the same cabinet?
Some multi-purpose cabinets offer separate compartments, but cheese and wine need different humidity. A dedicated cheese cabinet gives the best results.
Is a cheese cabinet suitable for a restaurant?
Yes. Professional cheese cabinets have glass doors and lighting to present a cheese trolley or counter while keeping every piece in ideal condition.
