Protective coatings for cheeses

Tokom-Elit offers Russian-made ECOCROUT coatings for hard and semi-hard cheeses.

The protective formulation ECOCROUT (natamycin 250 ppm) forms a glossy, elastic film on the cheese surface after drying. Available in a colorless version or custom colors upon request.

Benefits of using this coating:

• Reduces moisture loss during cheese ripening (minimizes weight loss).
• Provides the cheese rind with protection against mechanical damage and mold growth.
• Ensures proper microbiological processes during maturation, enhancing the product’s organoleptic characteristics.
• Simplifies cheese care during ripening, reducing labor time.
• Enables product differentiation on the shelf with the development of unique coating colors.

The protective formulation ECOCROUT Liquid Wax forms a matte, velvety film on the cheese surface. Available in a colorless version or custom colors upon request.

This coating does not require preheating and is applied directly to the cheese wheel. It is both gas- and water-permeable.

Benefits of using this coating:

• Provides uniform coverage over the entire cheese surface.
• Reduces moisture loss during cheese ripening.
• Protects the cheese rind from damage and mold formation.
• Promotes proper microbiological processes throughout maturation, improving flavor and texture.
• Enables product differentiation on the shelf through individualized coating color development.
