snEco-brand cheeses are produced using a unique-for-Ukraine microwave-vacuum drying technology. With this technology, cheeses become foamed. The result is a crispy cheese snack that doesn't require special storage conditions for long shelf life (6 months).
The principle of the technology is to dry the cheese at a temperature of 30-40 degrees. This is possible thanks to water's ability to change its boiling temperature depending on external pressure. As the pressure indicator approaches a vacuum, the boiling temperature and intensive evaporation of water decrease significantly. This allows preserving all microelements, vitamins, and nutritional qualities during cheese dehydration. 

The environmental policy of 'PRIME SNACK' LLC is aimed at the systematic improvement of environmental performance indicators of production combined with compliance with environmental criteria for raw materials and finished products.
Modern technological equipment ensures high energy efficiency in the production process, a closed water-cooling cycle, and no emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. Packaging waste and other production waste are sorted and transferred to specialized organisations for further use as secondary raw material. 
Dried foamed cheeses by snEco are made exclusively from natural cheese. No preservatives, flavor enhancers, colorants, or other additives. The cheeses used as raw material for the snacks contain no GMOs, vegetable fats (such as palm oil), or trans fats. Milk used to produce snEco cheese meets ecological criteria and contains no antibiotic or pesticide residues. Raw materials are supplied exclusively by verified suppliers with mandatory quality control.
