Why Temperature Precision Matters

Even a small deviation from the 34°F to 38°F range can cause significant quality degradation in cottage cheese. Temperature abuse can lead to accelerated microbial growth, texture changes, discoloration, and reduced shelf life. ArrowLane's reefer fleet uses advanced temperature control systems that maintain a variance of less than 2 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the entire transit, ensuring your cottage cheese arrives in optimal condition.
