What Are Beef Middles
Beef middles are the thick sections of a cow’s intestine. They are extremely durable and are generally used for making Sopressata, Salami and Dry Sausages. Beef middles are not edible and are usually peeled off prior to eating. Casings should be flushed inside and out with cold water, rinsed thoroughly and soaked in water overnight.

      Great buy. If you don’t use all of the casings, the cute little bucket stores well in the back corner in the kitchen fridge.

    2. Daniel Atkinson (verified owner) –

      site easy to use, quality products, reasonably priced, quick delivery time, I have shared your catalog with others, but I prefer to order on-line

    3. Adelina Donato (verified owner) –

      Beef middles are for making soppressati without the old fashion natural look. They are not as delicate as the hog ones, but work just as well. Using these for years.

    4. john R1G (verified owner) –

      Even sizes, long lengths,

    5. david meyer (verified owner) –

      Just as promised

    6. Bob in CA (verified owner) –

      This was my first use of beef middles–past experience was only with hog casings. These are thicker, but easier to untangle and rinse out. Also, being thicker they did not burst out as sometimes happens with smaller and thinner casings.

    7. Mike Landschoot (verified owner) –

      middles looked and smelled fresh.

    8. Anonymous (verified owner) –
