Long Live Flavor with the Murgella Frozen Line
In 2013, in response to a growing demand from international markets and with the goal of making our products available beyond national borders—especially in areas where fresh product logistics posed a major challenge—we embarked on an important journey of innovation and diversification. This evolution led to the development of a line of frozen cheeses, capable of combining the quality and tradition of our dairy expertise with the distribution and preservation needs of global markets.
The frozen cheese line was born as a concrete response to our desire to bring the authentic taste of Apulian dairy tradition to every corner of the world, without ever compromising on the values that define us: craftsmanship, freshness, and respect for raw ingredients. Our research and development team worked tirelessly to identify the best freezing technologies to preserve the flavor, texture, and nutritional properties of our products.
Through the use of quick freezing technology—a rapid freezing process that occurs at extremely low temperatures in a very short time—we are able to crystallize the water inside the product into microcrystals that do not damage the cheese’s structure. In this way, once thawed, the product retains all of its organoleptic qualities, offering a sensory experience nearly identical to that of the fresh product.
This innovation not only allows us to expand our commercial reach, but also to offer our clients an extremely flexible and versatile solution. The frozen cheeses from Caseificio Palazzo offer a shelf life of 18 months when stored at -18°C, ensuring maximum efficiency in inventory management and supply planning. Once thawed, the product maintains its integrity for 7 to 10 days at a controlled temperature of +4°C, making it ideal for widespread distribution in both the HORECA channel and large-scale retail.
This product line is a true extension of our commitment to promoting Made in Italy: a bridge between tradition and innovation, between craftsmanship and technology, between the Apulian region and the taste buds of consumers worldwide. With our frozen cheeses, we bring the genuine goodness of a centuries-old cheesemaking heritage across borders, adapting it to today’s challenges without ever losing sight of the quality that has defined us for over sixty years.
