Protect Freshness and Maintain Quality

Vacuum Packaging of Cheese

Vacuum packing cheese is the way to prevent mold and dehydration while maintaining the freshness and quality of the cheese. This method is essential for delicatessens, cheese makers and wholesalers alike who strive for a product that keeps longer and remains attractive to consumers.

The Benefits of Vacuum Packaging for Cheese

  • 01.Prevent Dehydration and Mold

    Many delis use stretch film to package cheese, but it does not provide sufficient protection against dehydration. This often leads to loss of saleable slices of cheese, causing unnecessary expense. A quality vacuum bag avoids this problem entirely.

  • 02.Ideal for Moist Cheeses

    Cheeses such as goat cheese, feta cheese and mozzarella stay perfectly fresh in vacuum packaging. In this regard, it is important that the vacuum machine is set properly to prevent the cheese from losing its shape. Our experts are ready to advise on this.

  • 03.Maturation Process Under Control

    For hard cheeses, such as Gouda and Parmesan, Hevel Super Export Plus vacuum bags are ideal: - Airtight layer: Protects against mold and dehydration. - High rack: Prevents leakage through sharp edges and ensures a glossy presentation. Hard cheeses are typically fully vacuum packed to maximize shelf life.

  • 05.Soft Cheeses and Gas Packing

    Softer cheeses are vacuum-packed in a way that removes as much air as possible without affecting the shape. For grated and sliced cheese, Modified Atmosphere Packaging (M.A.P.) is the best choice. This packaging technique prevents clumping and preserves the flavor and texture of the cheese.

Good cheese deserves the best protection
