Durability
Cheese makers have trusted Tosca wood containers for over six decades. Our wood is more durable and sustainable than the competitors’ plastic, lasts longer, reduces shrink, and cools more evenly, preserving the quality of your cheese.
-
Service
Tosca offers incomparable service and logistical support to cheese makers. We train you to use our proprietary stretch wrap machine. We clean, recondition and sanitize every container between uses, at one of our four nationwide service centers. And we fulfill on time – 100% of the time.

Safety
Our 640 cheese boxes keep your product safer during transport. Wood is more food safe than plastic alternatives as it naturally inhibits the growth of bacteria. And large cheese blocks retain their shape better than typical 40-pound pieces.
