Formaticum

CHEESE IS ALIVE. NURTURE IT.

Coated Paper

The outer layer of defense. It keeps the proper level of humidity within the wrap, simulating a cheese cave and preserving the cheese as the cheesemaker intended.

Porous Plastic

The inner layer of protection. It allows the cheese to breathe while preventing moisture from accumulating on the surface, extending the life of the cheese.

Delicious Cheese

The goal. Cheese tastes best when properly stored, allowing you to enjoy the flavor and texture intended by the cheesemaker, reducing waste and saving you money.
