A cheese package has at least three individual slices of cheese in a stack. The cheese package includes a separator between each adjacent pair of slices such that adjacent slices do not contact one another. Each separator has a body and a tab extending beyond the stack, the body having sufficient rigidity for a user to lift any one of the separators using the tab from the stack to remove at least one slice while maintaining the integrity of the removed at least one slice. The cheese package also includes packaging surrounding the stack.

A pre-packaged cheese snack includes a tray having two receptacles with a hinge there between so that the receptacles can be oriented in a stacked orientation and movable to an open orientation. The receptacles have a shape and a volume. A snack-sized piece of perishable cheese is disposed in each receptacle such that each piece of cheese has generally the same shape and volume as its respective receptacle. A sealing member encloses each piece of cheese in the respective receptacle, the sealing member being removable to allow access to the pieces of cheese. A fastener holds the receptacles in the stacked orientation to form a single pod, the fastener being movable to allow the receptacles to be moved to the open orientation.

The present invention relates to a method for producing and packaging a dairy product, particularly mozzarella cheese, and a packaging method therefor which is studied to facilitate the handling and improve preservability of the latter.

Particularly, the present invention relates to a method for preparing and packaging a pasta filata cheese, comprising a step of substantially dry packaging, i.e. without preserving liquid, and heat packaging of said pasta filata cheese.

A food storage and dispensing device includes a food holder configured to contain a sliceable item of food on the support surface and between the side walls. The food holder has a dispensing opening located at the first end. The device further includes a lid moveably mounted over the food holder so as to have an open position and a closed position and an end cap, having an upper edge coupled to the lid at a location proximate to the first end. The end cap is oriented to cover the dispensing opening when the lid is in the closed position and has a lower edge opposite the upper edge, the lower edge configured to slice the sliceable item of food when the lid is moved from the open position to the closed position.

A tray for displaying a product for sale, where the tray includes a re-closeable lid. The tray includes a base having a peripheral side wall with a rim bounding an opening to a cavity which retains the product. A portion of the lid is permanently engaged with a section of the base. The rest of the lid is selectively engageable with the rest of the base and is movable between open and closed positions. When closed, a part of the lid is positioned laterally adjacent the rim and is located in a common plane therewith. The edges of the rim and lid frictionally engage each other to secure the base and lid together. The movable part of the lid, which includes a frame member and flexible film, rotate about a living hinge in the frame member. A latching mechanism is engaged to keep the lid and base engaged.
