A crate (1, 1') for a cheese, said crate (1, 1') comprising a base (2, 2'), an open top (3, 3') substantially parallel to the base (2, 2'), a peripheral wall (4, 4') extending from the base (2, 2') to the top (3, 3') in a vertical direction (V, V'), the peripheral wall (4, 4') forming a closed contour and forming with the base (2, 2') a space (8, 8') intended to receive the cheese, said space having a height along the vertical direction (V, V'), the peripheral wall (4, 4') having at least one through-hole (36, 36', 60, 60') formed therein and comprising a medium portion (29, 29') which is approximately at mid-height of the space (8, 8') intended to receive the cheese, the peripheral wall (4, 4') comprising a solid strip (27, 27') enclosing the space (8, 8') intended to receive the cheese while being substantially parallel to the base (2, 2'), said solid strip (27, 27') including the medium portion (29, 29') of the peripheral wall (4, 4') and having a minimum height which is at least 15 % of the height of the space (8, 8') intended to receive the cheese, wherein the peripheral wall (4, 4') consists of several sections (5A, 5A', 5B, 5B') juxtaposed to each other along the periphery of the base (2, 2'), said sections (5A, 5A', 5B, 5B') comprising two end sections (5B, 5B') positioned on opposite ends (7, 7') of the base (2, 2') in a longitudinal direction (L, L'), and two side sections (5A, 5A') positioned on opposite sides (6, 6') of the base (2, 2') in a transversal direction (T, T') substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (L, L'), characterized in that the base (2, 2') comprises transversal ribs (15A, 15A') extending along the transversal direction (T, T') from one side section (5A, 5A') to the other side section (5A, 5A'), and each transversal rib (15A, 15A') of the base (2, 2') has a Z-shaped longitudinal section comprising a central portion extending along the vertical direction (V, V') and two extreme portions each protruding from a respective side of the central portion along the longitudinal direction (L, L'). the peripheral wall (4, 4') comprising a solid strip (27, 27') enclosing the space (8, 8') intended to receive the cheese while being substantially parallel to the base (2, 2'), said solid strip (27, 27') including the medium portion (29, 29') of the peripheral wall (4, 4') and having a minimum height which is at least 15 % of the height of the space (8, 8') intended to receive the cheese, wherein the peripheral wall (4, 4') consists of several sections (5A, 5A', 5B, 5B') juxtaposed to each other along the periphery of the base (2, 2'), said sections (5A, 5A', 5B, 5B') comprising two end sections (5B, 5B') positioned on opposite ends (7, 7') of the base (2, 2') in a longitudinal direction (L, L'), and two side sections (5A, 5A') positioned on opposite sides (6, 6') of the base (2, 2') in a transversal direction (T, T') substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (L, L'), characterized in that the base (2, 2') comprises transversal ribs (15A, 15A') extending along the transversal direction (T, T') from one side section (5A, 5A') to the other side section (5A, 5A'), and each transversal rib (15A, 15A') of the base (2, 2') has a Z-shaped longitudinal section comprising a central portion extending along the vertical direction (V, V') and two extreme portions each protruding from a respective side of the central portion along the longitudinal direction (L, L').
