1. The importance of cold room doors in storing cheese and cured meats
Cheese and cured meats represent a fundamental part of Italy's gastronomic heritage and, in particular, November marks the beginning of the crucial stages of ageing and preservation for many typical products destined for Christmas tables.
In this context, cold room doors play a decisive role in maintaining constant temperature, humidity and hygiene inside refrigerated rooms.
The correct preservation of cheese and cured meats requires an environment with very precise conditions:
Temperature generally between 0 °C and +8 °C for fresh or semi-matured cured meats;
Humidity controlled between 75% and 85% to prevent products from drying out too quickly or developing unwanted mould;
Uniform ventilation to ensure balanced maturation.
The cold room doors manufactured by MIV are designed to ensure optimal thermal insulation, reducing cold air dispersion and preventing temperature fluctuations that could compromise the organoleptic quality of the products. Furthermore, their sturdiness and ease of opening make them ideal for environments where staff pass through frequently, such as artisan workshops and agri-food warehouses.
2. Supermarkets and delicatessens: cold room doors and food safety
In supermarkets, delicatessens and food shops, cold chain management is a critical issue. Cold room doors allow refrigerated areas to be efficiently separated from sales or preparation areas, maintaining a constant internal temperature even during peak hours. This is particularly important for cold cuts and cheeses that are cut, packaged or already sliced, which must be stored in impeccable conditions to prevent bacterial growth and loss of freshness. An often overlooked aspect is the airtightness of cold room doors: small draughts can lead to temperature variations of up to 2–3 °C, which is enough to reduce the shelf life of the product. MIV solutions include high-efficiency seals, quick-closing systems and sliding models that allow intensive use without compromising the seal. In addition, the refined aesthetics and the possibility of customising materials and colours make these doors perfect for open-plan environments, such as the deli counters of high-end supermarkets.3. Logistics and ageing: cold room doors as a long-term investment
The cheese and cured meat supply chain does not end with daily storage: for many products, November is the month when the ageing process begins, requiring controlled environments for long periods, even several months. In these situations, the quality of cold room doors is even more strategic. A good closure system ensures stable microclimatic conditions, which are essential for the formation of natural rinds in mature cheeses or for the slow, controlled dehydration of cured meats. In addition, the energy efficiency of MIV doors significantly reduces the running costs of refrigerated rooms, an important consideration for both artisan and industrial companies. From a logistical point of view, sturdy and well-insulated cold room doors facilitate loading and unloading operations, improve operator safety and allow intensive use without premature deterioration. Investing in quality doors means protecting product quality and optimising costs in the long term.Contact information for cold storage doors.
