Small size, big success: Servi Doryl mini-moulds

30 grams of cheese a day: a nutritional recommendation

Cheese, an essential part of French gastronomy, is rich in flavour and health benefits. Nutritionists recommend a daily consumption of 30 grams, the equivalent of two mouthfuls. This allows you to benefit from its calcium, protein, vitamin and essential mineral content. Discover our Servi Doryl mini-moulds, ideal for making small-format moulds.

Small portions for more practical and economical consumption

In response to changing lifestyles and the quest for convenience, cheese consumption is being reinvented with the rise of small 30-gram portions. These individual formats offer a number of advantages:

Ease of use and transport: ideal for on-the-go lunch breaks, picnics or impromptu aperitifs, individual portions of cheese slip easily into a bag or lunch box.

Reduced food waste: by buying only as much as they need, consumers reduce losses and waste, helping to combat food waste.

Portion control and budget management: small portions allow consumers to better control their consumption and respect the daily nutritional recommendation, while preserving their budget.

Discover new flavours: individual portions encourage variety and the discovery of new cheeses, allowing you to explore the richness of cheese gastronomy.

Case study : François Raguin

‘As a sales representative at Servi Doryl, I have a front-row seat to see how cheese trends are evolving. Over the last few years, our cheese-making customers have seen a growing demand for small-portion cheeses.

These small portions allow consumers to discover different flavours and choose according to their preferences. They are ideal for putting together a varied cheese platter. They are also very practical for catering establishments, as they allow portions to be kept under control and prevent wastage. For goat’s milk cheeses, for example, which are often more expensive, the small format makes them more affordable.

For cheese-makers, these formats also offer advantages: faster maturing and more efficient stock rotation.

At Servi Doryl, we support our customers in the development of these new products. When a cheesemaker wants to create a mould for a small portion, we follow a well-established process:

Definition of requirements: the customer tells us the weight he wants for his cheese.

Tailor-made design: we propose a diameter, an internal radius, right angles, etc. to achieve the desired visual effect, particularly in line with the appellations.

Approval of plans: our design office draws up the plans and submits them to the customer for approval.

Prototyping: we make prototypes, depending on the food material, for practical tests.

Testing: the customer carries out tests in-house, then with consumers.

Production: if the results are conclusive, we launch production, with a pre-production run of 200 to 300 mould blocks for larger-scale testing.

Throughout this process, our teams work alongside the cheesemakers to provide them with the best possible advice and support. We’re proud to be contributing to innovation and diversification in the cheese sector.
