Innovative Coatings for Cheese
Our cheese coatings combine innovative technologies with high quality, protecting the cheese from microorganisms, regulating maturation, and improving its appearance. They help the product retain freshness and appeal for longer. We offer biodegradable protein coatings, flexible PVA films, and traditional waxes tailored to different cheese types.
PROTILAT – EDIBLE CHEESE COATING BY CONCENTROL
Protilat is an antifungal bio-coating used for surface treatment of cheese in aging and storage chambers. It protects the cheese from moisture loss during ripening, as effectively as a PVA coating. It can also serve as a functional base for developing a natural cheese rind.
Protilat is available for both manual and mechanical application.
If needed, we can assist with the purchase of special labels compatible with this type of coating.
KEY FEATURES
Edible and eco-friendly
Biodegradable milk protein-based coating, safe for both consumers and the environment.
Mold protection
Contains a safe fungicide (propionate) that protects cheese without the need for additional regulations.
Natural cheese rind
Creates an aesthetic, breathable layer that prevents excessive drying.
Perfect base
Works well as an adhesive for spices, herbs, and flowers, and as a base for PVA and wax coatings.
VIPLAST – PVA CHEESE COATING BY CONCENTROL
Viplast is a high-quality PVA-based plastic coating for cheese that protects against mold, yeast, and mechanical damage during ripening and transport. It reduces weight loss, improves appearance, and ensures consistent product quality.

No. This wax was designed as a direct replacement for traditional cheese waxes and can be used with existing equipment without any need for additional investment.
Modern biocoatings are still being introduced to the market, but they may soon become a popular solution that combines the benefits of latex coatings with an eco-friendly approach. The choice of coating is part of the cheese ripening strategy, so there is no single “best” technology — each works well when properly matched to the process. In many cases, combining multiple methods yields the best results, such as using a biocoating during ripening and a layer of bio-wax for long-term storage.
Yes, an effective alternative is the use of confectionery spray guns (commonly used for chocolate). It’s an inexpensive, fast, and highly effective method for applying coatings to cheese.
