Cheese is a food that allows great creativity to producers. Not only because of the type of milk used or the time dedicated to its maturation. There are very appreciated and very special cheeses that, due to the ingredients and techniques that are part of their production, are truly unique. Among these, truffled cheeses stand out.
These cheeses are made daily with raw sheep’s or goat’s milk, handmade and always matured for more than two months. They are then packaged in special vacuum shrink bags for food.
The elaboration of raw milk cheeses is much more laborious (in fact, they are usually artisan products and of reduced production) and since the elimination of certain bacteria that takes place in the pasteurization process does not occur, it maintains more defined flavors, aromas and textures.
From a sanitary point of view, raw milk cheeses matured for more than sixty days are considered safe by the entire scientific community and European regulations perfectly regulate the production process in cases of lesser maturity.
Raw milk cheeses have a greater amount of nuances than those from pasteurized milk. In addition, the fact that they come from animals that can graze freely in the pastures of our farm throughout the year gives the cheese, if possible, a more artisan touch.

Preserving unopened Iberian ham
If you have just brought home a piece of Iberian ham that you do not plan to open yet, it is important that you remove all the wrapping and hang it up, if possible in a cool, dry place, in order to preserve it.
In this way the ham can last for months without any problems.
Preserving Iberian ham once it has been opened
When we buy a leg of Iberian ham and we are going to start cutting it, it is important to save the layer and the first slices of fat that we will remove before cutting the ham itself.
Preserving whole cured meats
If you are one of those people who prefer to buy whole pieces of sausage such as salami, cured pork loin or chorizo, there are also ways in which we can help to keep these pieces in perfect condition.
The best way to preserve Iberian cured meats is to keep them hanging. The piece should be hung with the cut side down. To maintain its texture, cover the part that has already been cut with plastic film and secure it with a string or rubber band so that it is well sealed.
Preserving sliced sausages
The ideal way to preserve sliced cold meats with all their properties is to group all the slices together and stack them on top of each other, wrapping them in transparent film. They should also be spread out inside the envelope in which they were received. Once you have opened one of these sachets, you should consume it within a week.
