Butcher’s tip

Keep your products fresher for longer with proper temperature control

3/24/2025

Did you know that as a butcher, you can keep your homemade products for a longer period if you store them below 3°C? But be careful: this only applies if you monitor that temperature continuously! ❄️👨🍳

👉 Why is this important?

If the temperature rises above 3°C, the shelf life can decrease drastically:

  • From 4 to 2 days for fresh products

  • From 14 to 7 days for post-pasteurized products

Our tips for reliable temperature control:

  • Don’t rely solely on the display of your refrigerator. It can be inaccurate! Check the temperature at least weekly with a calibrated thermometer.

  • Insert the thermometer into a small container of alcohol inside the fridge instead of directly into the product. This prevents cross-contamination and gives a more accurate reading. 🧪💡

  • Pay extra attention during periods of intensive fridge use (frequent opening and closing).

A small effort, big results: longer shelf life and safer products! 🥩✨
