Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) is a modern technique in which each cheese form is individually frozen. This method offers numerous advantages in the production process for further processing. At St. Paul, we create IQF Cheese Forms in any desired shape.
Looking for a product with optimal quality and easy handling? We have the perfect solution thanks to our unique high-pressure shaping technology (extrusion): our IQF Cheese Forms. These cheese forms maintain a consistent shape, resulting in less waste and product loss.
We offer IQF cheese forms in a wide range of cheeses, including our own cheeses and cheese alternatives. If you cannot find the right product among our existing solutions, we will create one for you. Together, we determine the best product for your specific application.
