Our line of materials have been designed and manufactured for the specific purpose of wrapping cheese. Our materials come from the leading manufacturers of cheese packaging in France. All members of the cheese industry have an incumbent responsibility to properly care for their products so as to ensure the consumer tastes what the cheese maker intended. The greatest tragedy is when a consumer tastes a dead cheese and incorrectly assumes that the dead cheese tastes as the cheesemaker intended and therefore decides to never buy that cheese again. This does a great disservice to the hard work of the cheesemaker. Moreover, fine cheese is an expensive food item and accordingly should be packaged in materials that convey this value rather than detract from it. Proper cheese packaging conveys a sense of value to your customers and gives them a clue to all the hard work that goes on behind the scene to bring them this excellent, well cared for and delicious product. Below you will find descriptions of the materials we offer.
