Cheese Safes - Little Miss Moffat Must Have Had One!

The art of Cheese making goes back at least 4000 years, although no-one knows who the first person to make cheese was.

It is thought that an Arab merchant who was about to cross a desert put some milk in his pouch, so he could quench his thirst during the crossing.

However, because of the intense heat, the milk turned to curd and whey during the crossing. In the evening he tried the resulting mixture.

The whey satisfied his thirst and the curd his hunger. The curd had an unusual but delightful taste which he liked!

Since then, cheese making has turned into a huge, global industry, which in some countries consumes a third of all milk production. 

Cheese of course is best eaten fresh and keeping it fresh has always been a challenge. 

Most people today in the know, keep their cheese in the fridge, wrapped in paper, or parchment to allow it to 'breathe' and to protect it from other strong food odours!

Cheese safes are used when the cheese is taken out of the fridge, to bring it up to room temperature, so it will taste at it’s best.

Once the cheese is inside the cheese safe, it can be stored in a cool pantry or cellar, for short periods until ready to be eaten!

Polmac (UK) Ltd cheese safes are made from food compatible, natural beechwood, with fly proof, metal mesh sides.

There are four, raised legs at the corners, to allow air circulation around the whole of the cheese safe. 

The hinged lid is located at the top and is secured with a metal ‘hook’ fastener, for ease of opening.

Inside the cheese safe there is a natural beech, cheese board with a long handle grip at the centre, to allow the cheese to be quickly and easily taken out, when required!

Polmac cheese safes are custom made to order and can be overprinted with a logo or text, using screen printing, metallic foil blocking and laser engraving techniques, if a more personalized, branded finish is required!
