Fresh semi-hard Sabah lactic cheese in an 8 kg food-grade bucket designed for catering, hospitality, and wholesale supply.
FAQ
Sabah lactic cheese is produced via traditional natural curd formation mediated by lactic acid bacteria cultures rather than membrane ultrafiltration. This biochemical coagulation results in a porous, semi-firm matrix that does not turn pasty upon slicing, retaining distinct dairy aromas and authentic curd texture favored by commercial kitchen operators.
The 8 kg food-grade buckets are engineered with interlocking lid grooves to prevent slippage during transport. A standard 100x120 cm wooden or plastic pallet holds up to 72–80 buckets arranged across 4 vertical tiers. Unbroken cold chain monitoring at 4°C to 8°C is strictly required during road transport and warehousing.
The pasteurized brine inside the container acts as a microbial and oxidative barrier. When removing curd blocks, the remaining cheese must remain fully submerged in the existing brine with the lid tightly resealed. Operators should avoid diluting the brine with unsalted tap water to prevent osmotic softening and texture breakdown.
Yes, Sabah facilities operate under ISO 22000, HACCP, and recognized Halal certifications. Export shipments include comprehensive documentation such as Veterinary Health Certificates, Certificates of Analysis (COA), and bilingual Persian-Arabic or Persian-English label compliance tailored to customs regulations in destination markets.
Thanks to its stable curd structure and minimal syneresis, this SKU is extensively used in hotel breakfast buffets, cold Mediterranean salads, commercial pre-packaged sandwiches, and central commissary meal prep. It can be diced into uniform cubes or shredded without crumbling into powder.
The standard domestic MOQ is 20 buckets, while cross-border export orders typically start at one full pallet footprint. Net cheese weight tolerance is tightly regulated within ±1% deviation in accordance with industrial dairy production standards.
Upon arrival, receiving QA teams must verify the reefer vehicle's data logger records and ensure container integrity. In instances of cracked seals or freight temperatures exceeding 8°C, an official discrepancy report must be drafted prior to final pallet clearance to initiate the standard warranty review.
