Technologies and Process

IQF cheeses for industry are packaged in 5kg bags. The smallest packages for restaurant professionals are bags and mainly in ‘IQF boxes’.

The IQF box by EURIAL allows for optimal preservation of frozen cheese:
- practical and resistant, it makes it easier to identify products thanks to its colour coding
- it is environmentally friendly: 98% of its materials come from renewable sources.

What is the difference between deep-freezing and freezing?
Deep-freezing consists in rapidly lowering the temperature of the product by exposing it to temperatures ranging from -30°C to -50°C. Freezing is gradual.
During the deep-freezing process, the water content of the product finely crystalises (intracellular crystallisation) and does not alter the product's characteristics. Crystals are larger during freezing, and there is a risk of altering the product when preparing it.
Deep-freezing does not transform, it stabilises. A deep-frozen product, kept at -18°C and respecting the cold chain, preserves the texture and flavor of a fresh product.
