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.

This is the second time Iââ¬â¢m ordering the 55-60mm Beef middles and both times they came smaller then what should be also they are very thin and they break easy.
I will reorder only if they change the size to what itââ¬â¢s supposed to be and better quality so it wonââ¬â¢t tear apart.
