Sabah ultrafiltered (UF) Iranian white cheese packed in an 1800g sanitary metal tin, optimal for HoReCa, food service, and export.
FAQ
Sabah 1800g white cheese tins are packaged in 5-ply heavy-duty corrugated cartons containing 6 tins each, yielding a gross carton weight of approximately 12.2–12.5 kg. A standard industrial pallet (100x120 cm) accommodates 64 to 72 master cartons across 4 tiers, optimized for steady airflow and temperature control inside 40ft reefer containers.
Yes, the packaging uses double-coated food-grade epoxy-phenolic lacquer specifically engineered for acid-brine dairy environments. This protective barrier completely prevents tinplate corrosion, metal ion migration, and oxidation, preserving pure flavor profiles throughout the certified 6-month shelf life.
The salt concentration in the cheese curd is balanced between 2.5% and 3.5%, making it ready for cold buffets and sandwich prep without extended desalting soaking. Fat in dry matter (FDM) is certified at minimum 40%, delivering a semi-firm sliceable structure that does not crumble excessively during bulk slicing.
Continuous refrigerated conditions at 4°C to 8°C are mandatory. Sub-zero freezing must be avoided as it irreversibly damages curd texture and causes syneresis. In distribution warehouses, pallets must be elevated off floors with adequate perimeter spacing to allow uninterrupted refrigerated airflow.
Shipments are accompanied by official Veterinary Health Certificates, batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA), Certificates of Origin, and Halal certification. Production plants operate under ISO 22000, HACCP, and full national veterinary oversight, meeting import clearance criteria across target regions.
Once opened, cheese blocks must remain submerged in their original brine to prevent surface desiccation and mold contamination. When stored at 4°C with hygienic handling tools, opened product maintains prime texture and taste for 2 to 3 weeks.
The standard MOQ is 100 master cartons for domestic delivery, or one full pallet (64 cartons) up to full container loads (FCL) for export contracts.
