An innovative, sustainable solution from MBM innovations and dsm-firmenich tackles exactly this: the combination of the proven VSM\u00ae vacuum packaging machines with the pioneering Pack-Age\u00ae ripening membrane optimizes the natural cheese maturation process from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Less Moisture Loss and Trim Loss \u2013 Full Flavor Intact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the Pack-Age\u00ae film, the traditional coating of naturally ripened cheeses becomes unnecessary\u2014no more regular re-application, no removal before slicing. This brings substantial advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5\u201310% less cheese loss<\/strong> along the processing chain<\/li>\n<li><strong>Up to 7% lower trim losses<\/strong> after maturation<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delayed mold and yeast growth<\/strong> thanks to bioprotective properties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The breathable membrane allows the cheese to ripen naturally and develop its full aroma\u2014achieving the taste and texture of traditionally matured cheese.<\/p>\n<p>The ripening membrane, which can be easily recycled after the maturation phase, enables controlled, natural respiration of the cheese. As a result, producers benefit not only from a fuller, rounder flavor, but also from optimized texture, improved sliceability, and reduced waste during production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Optimal Maturation Through Perfectly Matched Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For over 50 years, MBM innovations has set benchmarks in cheese maturation with the VSM\u00ae vacuum system. Operating with atmospheric vacuum, it is exceptionally gentle on product structure and ensures crease-free sealing\u2014even with thin films such as the Pack-Age\u00ae membrane.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits for dairies<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gentle evacuation<\/strong>, even for sensitive product structures, thanks to <strong>atmospheric vacuum<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimal, crease-free sealing<\/strong> quality through double-sided impulse sealing<\/li>\n<li>Reduced contamination risk due to fewer manual steps and increased automation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>VSM\u00ae machines deliver <strong>ideal packaging results<\/strong> for round, block, and stick-shaped cheese formats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Save Resources \u2013 Reduce Carbon Footprint<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sustainability is evident not only in the materials but also in the machines themselves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>36\u201350% lower energy consumption<\/strong> compared with other vacuum systems<\/li>\n<li><strong>No permanently heated<\/strong> sealing plates or sealing bars<\/li>\n<li>Durable, <strong>resource-efficient machine<\/strong> concepts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This efficiency increases profitability across the entire value chain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Yield From Milk \u2013 Simplified Processes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Up to <strong>10% more yield<\/strong> from the same amount of milk, combined with optimized process and product quality: the integrated solution makes the maturation process more efficient, reduces trim and moisture losses, and improves product quality at the same time. With the combination of VSM\u00ae machines and Pack-Age\u00ae ripening membranes, dairies can extract more value from their milk\u2014while noticeably saving energy and resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Efficient, Sustainable Cheese Maturation for Modern Dairies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Producers looking to manufacture with greater efficiency, sustainability, and process reliability will gain a clear innovation advantage with the integrated solution from MBM and dsm-firmenich.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of VSM\u00ae packaging technology and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dsm-firmenich.com\/de-de\/businesses\/taste-texture-health\/markets-products\/dairy\/cheese\/package.html\">Pack-Age\u00ae<\/a> ripening membranes reduces losses, enhances quality, and strengthens sustainability\u2014while preserving full flavor.
