A home refrigerator typically offers a one-size-fits-all solution for chilling foods. That single-minded approach doesn’t work for commercial refrigerated display cases. Expectations and requirements are higher in a restaurant or shop than in a simple home kitchen.

In a retail environment, different foods must be stored and displayed at different temperatures. Maintaining the right range for each food is essential. It helps keep an appealing appearance, necessary to entice shoppers to buy. It also ensures the flavor satisfies the customer once they’ve tasted it. Finally, maintaining the correct temperature ensures the safety of your food. What if your gelato, meat, cheeses or other wares spoil and sicken customers? There goes your product, reputation, and potentially a customer’s health.

Ciam temperature-controlled cases deliver comprehensive solutions for temperature-sensitive food products. From refrigerated to hot cases, these units empower you to sell more product. Each creates an eye-catching display that reliably maintains the proper temperature.

Whatever your needs, Advanced Gourmet provides the Ciam display case to suit your application. Each specialized display case is engineered to extend shelf life, minimize loss and spoilage, preserve optimal food quality, and create a beautiful appearance that entices customers to buy.

How do you know what temperature, case configuration and equipment model are best for your situation? We’ve taken the guesswork out with this helpful temperature-range guide. Determine the product you’re handling, check the chart and find out which range you need. Then, consult your Advanced Gourmet representative. We’ll connect you with the Ciam case that’s perfect for you.
