Additional Details about the Standard Snack Platter
- Will I receive the fresh Alpine cheese delivery with exact weight?
Yes, but since the cheese is freshly cut for each delivery, it is often not possible to match the desired weight exactly. If the weight is insufficient, we simply add the missing piece. Cheese boxes are an exception; here, the total package weight is delivered exactly, but the weight of individual cheese pieces may vary. - How is the Alpine cheese packaged and cooled?
The cheese is vacuum-packed airtight. During warmer months, cooling elements are added to the packaging as needed. - How long does premium cheese stay fresh?
Temperature is key. If it’s too warm, the cheese ripens too quickly. If it’s too cold, the flavor suffers. Properly stored at around 8-12°C, the cheese remains fresh for about 3 months or longer. - How long does delivery take?
The cheese is shipped via post.at/DHL and should reach any destination in Austria or Germany within 48 hours. - Is there a minimum order quantity for cheese?
Yes, each order must include at least 200 or 300 grams per selected cheese variety. - Is there a maximum order quantity?
Of course not. If you need a large amount of cheese, this is no problem, and we can discuss it with you. - What are the shipping costs?
DPD has provided great support. We offer a low flat rate for shipping within Austria and Germany. - To which countries do you deliver?
Currently, shipping is only available within Austria and Germany. Upon request, we can ship to other countries as well.
Cheese can be stored well in the refrigeratorRipened cheese likes it cool and moist. The best is a temperature of about 8-10 ° C at about 90% humidity. » More info. If you wish to store large pieces or an entire wheel for more than 2-3 weeks, we recommend using a dish towel. Take a clean towel, soak it in salt water (just add some salt), wring it out, and wrap the cheese in the moist towel. Repeat this process every 2-3 days.
Using aluminum foil is possible (though not recommended) if you add many small holes for airflow.
Avoid Bread Contact - Yeast Spores
Do not store or cut cheese on boards, wooden surfaces, or other materials where bread has previously been placed. Residual yeast from the bread causes the cheese to mold quickly.
Regardless of the number of snack platters, all are packed together in one package without separating the individual platters. If you plan to distribute the platters, you must separate them yourself.
