The space, like cellars, where locals keep food products plays an important role. Cellars are ideal spaces because they provide balance and do not allow thermal shock. The purpose of a cellar is to extend the shelf life of the products, regardless of season and weather conditions. The cellar must meet certain conditions, such as constant temperature and humidity, lack of unpleasant odours, darkness etc. In this respect, this study has analysed air temperature, relative air humidity and fungi in a cellar located in the village of Sălacea, Bihor County, Romania. The results obtained show that the temperature inside the cellar during the monitored period falls within the optimal parameters for preservation of products and the constant presence of mould may develop pathologies in persons who spend more hours working in this environment. Bringing these parameters to normal values is an important task for cellar owners, whose solving is necessary for preserving products over a long period of time.
