Find the right Kilner Cheese Store size for your fridge. This guide explains how the single-size container keeps cheese fresh and organized, and who it works best for.
Quick answer
The Kilner Cheese Store comes in a single, practical size designed to fit neatly on a fridge shelf. It is ideal for keeping strong-flavored and blue cheeses airtight while containing aromas, but it may be too small if you regularly store large cheese wheels or multiple blocks.
What size is the Kilner Cheese Store?
The Kilner Cheese Store is a single-size container. Its dimensions are compact enough to slide onto a standard fridge shelf without taking up excessive space. The design prioritizes a tidy, organized fridge rather than bulk storage, so you get one consistent size that works for most everyday cheese portions.
Who should choose the Kilner Cheese Store?
This container is best for households that regularly buy smaller cheese blocks, wedges, or specialty cheeses like blue cheese or strong cheddar. The airtight seal helps contain strong aromas, which is a real plus if you store pungent cheese next to delicate items in the fridge. It also works well as a dedicated cheese keeper if you want to keep your cheese drawer organized.
When to consider a different cheese storage solution
If you frequently buy large cheese wheels, multiple blocks at once, or need to store cheese alongside other deli items, the single size may feel limiting. The Kilner Cheese Store is not expandable, so you would need multiple units or a larger container for big hauls. Also, if you prefer storing cheese in a cheese drawer without a dedicated container, this might be an unnecessary addition.
How to decide if the Kilner Cheese Store size fits your needs
- Check your typical cheese portion: Measure the size of cheese blocks you usually buy. The Kilner Cheese Store fits standard wedges and smaller blocks up to about the size of a typical hand. If you buy large wheels or multiple pounds at once, it will not fit. Stick with the Kilner Cheese Store if you buy single wedges or small blocks.
- Consider your fridge layout: The container is designed to sit on a fridge shelf, not in a drawer. Measure your shelf height and depth to ensure it fits without blocking airflow or other items. Works best on a standard fridge shelf with room for one dedicated cheese container.
- Think about aroma control: If you store strong or blue cheeses, the airtight lid is a key feature. It keeps smells contained, which is harder to achieve with open cheese paper or bags. Ideal for pungent cheese lovers who want to avoid odor transfer.
