Preservation and Vacuum Sealing
After the cheese is cut, it is carefully sealed in a plastic vacuum bag. The sealing machine removes all air from the bag, stopping the aging process of the cheese. This postpones the due-by date by up to two months. Because of this, you can hygienically preserve the cheese for a long time. This means you can safely order large amounts of cheese at a time, with no risk of spoilage. This way you can save on shipping costs.
Can I send cheese over the summer or during a warm period?
Gouda cheeses remain perfectly fine outside the refrigerator. When the cheese is hot, ‘sweaty’ or soft at delivery, simply put the cheese in the refrigerator and you will see that the cheese becomes ‘hard’ again (the heat during transport will not compromise the quality and / or the taste of the cheese).
Can I freeze cheese?
It is better not to freeze cheese because this is bad for the taste.
