Vacuum Sealing Cheese | HenkelmanAUS

Perfectly packaged cheese

Vacuum packaging cheese plays an important role in extending the shelf life of this tasty dairy product. Removing air using our step vacuum (available as on option in our Advance Control System) creates the perfect conditions for retaining all the characteristic flavours, aromas and textures of various types of cheeses. Whether you are a small cheese producer selling cheese directly to customers or packaging cheese on an industrial scale: vacuum packaging offers many practical advantages in addition to professional packaging.

Which type of cheese can be vacuum sealed?

Hard cheeses

Vacuum packing hard pieces of cheese keeps them fresh and gives them a longer shelf life.

Soft cheeses

Delicate, soft cheeses can be safely packaged using soft air without being crushed.

Fragrant cheeses

Vacuum packing ensures that cheese does not absorb or release odours into the environment.

Sliced cheese

Sliced cheese can also be vacuum packed. Preservative gas can also be added if required.

Advantages of vacuum sealing cheese

Longer shelf life

Removing air from the packaging ensures that cheese remains fresh and tasty. The absence of air limits the growth of bacteria, which means the product has a longer shelf life.

Protection against odours

Some types of cheese have a strong odour. This odour can be overwhelming and can also be transferred to other products. Airtight packaging protects your cheese from both absorbing and releasing odours.

Prevention of dehydration

Vacuuming ensures that the moisture present in the cheese is retained. Vacuum sealed cheese does not dry out and remains as deliciously creamy as the day it was made.

Maturing is possible

Some types of cheese can continue to mature inside the vacuum packaging. This contributes to the development of flavour and texture.

Less food waste

Because vacuum sealed products have a longer shelf life, they can be stored for longer and your customers can consume the cheese for longer without it ending up in the bin.

Vacuum packing cheese

Vacuum sealing cheese with a Henkelman machine is easy. Choose which cheese you want to package and select the right program. Then place the cheese in a vacuum bag, put it into the chamber, close the lid and initiate the vacuum packing process. When all the air has been removed, the bag is automatically sealed and the chamber will refill with air. After this, you have the option of labelling your product.
