Soft cheese ripening rooms
Ripening soft
and blue cheeses
Within the dairy industry, Madefrigor has made a name for itself as THE industrial refrigeration specialist. We design systems dedicated to ageing and ripening cheese: from soft cheese to pressed cheese, through to pasta filata, Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano. Our technical options combine high performance, low energy consumption and a green approach to refrigeration.
For many years, we have been researching the necessary conditions for raw materials in order to create cheeses with the right organoleptic characteristics: curds with a high percentage of water, elastic and consistent yet tender and soft. The cheese ripening rooms designed and built in our workshop by Madefrigor’s team of specialists are therefore created to ensure the perfect thermo-hygrometric balance.
Technology designed for quality
Cheese ripening systems
Madefrigor’s systems efficiently manage all the variables that can influence the biochemical reactions linked to milk processing, from the level of humidity to the temperature. Our ripening systems use cutting-edge technology to guarantee food quality. These solutions are also “turnkey“: we design custom products, for which we are responsible at each phase of the project, from inception through to final testing, with 24/7 full-service maintenance support to keep them running perfectly.
Madefrigor designs and builds industrial refrigeration systems to meet every cooling need. When it comes to ripening cheese, Madefrigor has you covered.
Fresh cheeses
Fresh cheeses, such as mozzarella, are not ripened, but must be stored for a short time.
Soft cheeses with short ripening times
However, soft cheeses with short ripening times, such as Taleggio and Stracchino, must be ripened at temperatures of 5–10 degrees with a high level of humidity (20–40 days).
Ripening blue cheeses
Ripening blue cheeses, such as Gorgonzola, takes place at temperatures of 2–7 °C and humidity levels of 90–99%, in environments that recreate the conditions of the natural caves where the ripening process traditionally occurred.
Seeing cracks in the rind of your Gorgonzola? Temperature or ventilation issues can be fatal.
