Technology protects tradition
The von Mühlenen family has been making cheese since 1861 and all of its cheeses are
still produced exclusively with pure raw milk, using traditional ripening methods from the
nineteenth century. A unique partnership between modern technology and know-how
acquired over four generations is the von Mühlenen recipe for success. The award-winning
cheese maker has been using bags for over 25 years. Today’s Cryovac® Jumbo
Bags protect cheese products of all sizes, accommodating the round and wedge shapes
favoured by customers buying traditional Swiss
cheese. The flexibility and strength of the bags make
them suitable for the broad spectrum of Von
Mühlenen products, which extends beyond the
famous Emmentaler and Le Gruyère, to a variety of
alpine and organic cheeses, as well as special recipes
to meet customer wishes.
Proven return on investment
The Cryovac® bags ensure exceptional shelf life, without the risk of mould, meeting the
highest health and safety standards. They also make a valuable contribution to enabling the
producer to satisfy the growing market demand for natural, rounded cheeses, as opposed
to manufactured blocks. The flexible Cryovac® packaging line has a large capacity and can
easily be adapted to package large or small units. All
of the staff of von Mühlenen AG have completed one
week of intensive training on the packing line,
including those based in the office, to gain a full
understanding of the machinery’s efficiency and
positive impact on the business. With their shared
values of quality and efficiency, von Mühlenen and
Cryovac® appear to have lasting customer satisfaction
in the bag, across the continents.
