Central to the design is the Aroma Trap, a patented system that effectively contains the “Stinky Cheese” emitted by ripe cheeses. By strategically separating the chambers within the Fromage Garage™, the Aroma Trap acts as a pressure barrier, preventing the pungent aromas from permeating beyond the confines of the storage unit. This not only preserves the freshness of other stored items, but also aids to ensure that the cheeses retain their unique flavors without tainting surrounding foods. It is recommended to remove the wrapper from the cheese before storing in the FG, to allow the cheese to breathe. Use the sticky note square to identify the contents. The FG is not designed to be airtight, it does provide an air seal when the lid is firmly pressed closed.

What is Stinky Cheese?
“Stinky” Cheese is an aromatic type of cheese where the rind has been washed with brine, types of brandy, wine or beer.
Then they are cured for no fewer than 60 days and are usually soft-ripened or semi-firm in texture. The resulting aroma from repetitive washing and curing these can best be described in vivid adjectives. Needless to say, the rich and complex flavors of these cheeses are appreciated for their strong aroma and great tastes.
Why do these types of cheese develop strong aromas in the first place?
Washing the rind of a particular cheese creates an environment that inhibits mold growth. It also creates a bacteria friendly surface where the resulting aromas formulate. Yogurt contains beneficial bacteria. These cheeses are not going to make you sick.
The strong aroma of the cheese does not hint at the flavor. Often washed rind cheeses taste much milder than their smell would indicate.
Due to their pungent aromas, special care in wrapping and storing these cheeses should be considered to preserve family harmony and extend the life of the cheese. They will stink up your refrigerator, and unless your family is okay with butter and ice cream smelling like feet, wrap them well. The Fromage Garage™ offers an easy way to store, transport and serve a wide assortment of cheeses.
The patented Aroma Trap™ helps provide separation and containment between the 2 chamber sections.
