How to store our cheeses

FROM THE PARCEL TO THE FRIDGE

From the parcel to the table, the right way

Your parcel has arrived: the cheeses travel vacuum-packed and chilled. Here’s what to do straight away and how to keep each cheese at its best, from fior di latte to Provolone del Monaco.

1

Open the parcel right away

Don’t leave it closed indoors or on the balcony: the cheeses travelled chilled and must stay that way.

2

Put them in the fridge

Just as they are, still vacuum-packed: fresh, aged and the butter too. Below you’ll find how, product by product.

3

Check everything is fine

If something is damaged or missing, write to us within 24 hours of delivery at reclami@caseificioperrusio.com, with your order number and, if you can, a photo.

HOW THEY ARRIVE

All our cheeses arrive vacuum-packed

The vacuum pack protects them during the journey. At home, leave each product in its packaging and keep it in the fridge: open it only when you bring it to the table.

Until opening, the date on the label applies. After opening, follow the tips below.

FRESH CHEESE

Fior di latte

Also treccia and tortano

• In the fridge between 0 and 4 °C, in its vacuum pack.
• Take it out half an hour before, then open it and eat it straight away.
• Don’t freeze it: it loses its texture.

Leaving them open to the air

After cutting them, close them again in their vacuum bag or in food paper: that way they don’t dry out.

Opening fior di latte in advance

Open it only when you eat it: out of the vacuum pack it dries out. And don’t freeze it, it loses its texture.

Eating them straight from the fridge

Cold closes the aromas: half an hour out of the fridge makes a big difference.
