More about Storage
Kitchen storage works best with containers that keep food fresh and last for many years. At Taiga, you’ll find food storage containers and milk jugs made from Riess enamel — from the flat Serve+Store container for leftovers and pre-prepared food to the 2-litre milk jug with lid.
How to recognise good storage
- Material: Enamel has a sealed, glass-like surface — it absorbs neither odours nor discolouration and is a durable alternative to plastic containers.
- Lid: A well-fitting lid keeps flavour and freshness in the container — an essential feature for both food storage containers and milk jugs.
- Sizes that work together: Serve+Store containers come in low formats (around 11 × 15 × 5 cm and 15 × 23 × 5 cm) as well as tall ones — so you can choose the size to suit the contents instead of wasting space.
- Two uses in one: Serve+Store translates as “serve and store” — the containers go straight from the fridge to the table.
Our brand: why Riess
The collection comes from Riess, whose enamelware is designed to last for many years of use. Alongside the Serve+Store food storage containers, the collection includes the classic Landlust milk jug (with an enamel lid and wooden handle), Almliesel and Dirndl — pieces that look equally at home in the pantry and on a set table.
In practice: storing food properly
Coffee, tea, nuts, flour and spices keep their flavour for longer in tightly sealed containers. Choose a container that suits the quantity — half-empty, oversized containers expose the contents to more air than necessary. Labelling is worthwhile as soon as you have more than one container in the cupboard. Away from food, the containers also help keep things organised, for example by storing small items in the kitchen and around the home.
Which container size is right?
As small as possible, as large as necessary: the low Serve+Store formats are enough for leftovers and pre-prepared food, while the tall versions are ideal for flour or larger quantities.
Why enamel rather than plastic?
Enamel is neutral in taste, absorbs neither odours nor discolouration and lasts for many years with proper care — while plastic containers become brittle over time and need replacing.
