Parmigiano Reggiano DOP is one of the most appreciated and recognized Italian cheeses in the world. Its millennial tradition and unmistakable flavor deserve to be preserved with utmost care and attention. But how can we ensure the freshness, aroma, and organoleptic properties of this cheese at every stage of distribution?
In this article, we explore the advanced packaging techniques used by INTERGRANA, which combine tradition and innovation to deliver top-quality products with superior shelf life compared to market standards.
The Challenge of Packaging Parmigiano Reggiano
Parmigiano Reggiano is a delicate product whose quality can be affected by external factors such as humidity, oxygen, and uncontrolled temperatures. One of the main challenges in packaging is ensuring freshness and food safety without altering its authentic flavor or nutritional properties.
Intergrana meets this challenge with an innovative approach, leveraging cutting-edge packaging technologies to preserve every bag or pack of Parmigiano Reggiano.
Innovative Technologies: What They Are and How They Work
Intergrana stands out for its use of state-of-the-art packaging techniques tailored to the needs of the food market and consumers. Here are some key technologies:
- Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
One of the most innovative techniques adopted by Intergrana is modified atmosphere packaging, which replaces the oxygen inside the package with a gas mixture (such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide) to slow oxidation and pathogen growth.
This technology allows for:
✔ Preserving the organoleptic characteristics of Parmigiano Reggiano.
✔ Significantly extending shelf life without the use of preservatives.
- Sustainable Packaging Materials
Intergrana invests in eco-friendly and recyclable packaging materials, contributing to sustainability in the food sector. The use of next-generation films, which provide an effective barrier against moisture and oxygen, preserves the product while minimizing environmental impact.
- High-Precision Sealing Technology
Sealing plays a critical role in maintaining product integrity. Intergrana employs cutting-edge machinery to ensure perfectly airtight seals, preventing external contamination and guaranteeing maximum food safety.
- Customized Portions and Packaging Formats
To meet market demands, Intergrana has developed packaging solutions for single-serve portions and customized formats, ideal for the foodservice industry, retail, and food manufacturers. This optimizes product use, prevents waste, and ensures maximum freshness in every package.
