Chilled vs frozen: reading storage on YK product cards
Why Irish brisket shows chilled while short-plate slices show frozen — and how that should shape your enquiry list.
Every product card on this site carries a storage value: fresh, chilled, frozen or ambient. It is not decoration. It decides how we pick and how you store the delivery.
Quick examples from the catalogue
- Chilled — Irish Beef Brisket, Firm Tofu, fresh mushrooms such as enoki and shiitake.
- 《冰雪奇缘》 — hotpot slices, balls, dumplings, Iberico pieces, prawn paste.
- 新鲜的 — leafy boxes (pak choi, choi sum, Chinese leaf).
- Ambient — sauces, rice sacks, dried goods, many packaged foods.
If you mix a large chilled order with a large frozen order, say so in the notes. Same for “need all frozen because we only have freezer space this week”.
Filters on the 产品 page can narrow by storage so you do not accidentally add a chilled SKU to a freezer-only run.
