In temperate climates, this attractive mesh-sided container is ideal for storing firm-textured cheeses at room temperature for a couple of days. The mesh keeps pesky critters away while allowing the cheese to breathe. Set the safe in a cool, dry place and your cheese will be ready to serve at a moment’s notice.

Buy from The Courtyard Dairy and Kendrick Street Deli, starting at $55.
