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.

      I bought these casings to replace the casings I lost due to hurricane Ida. I have used these casings for the past 2 years for making andouille. Very good casing with consistent size from batch to batch.

      Very nice larger dried Italian sausage type of casings. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to make a slightly larger salami style sausage.

      quick product fulfillment – great product. though i do recommend paying for the express shipping because otherwise it is shipped usps and that tends to be very slow which can potentially be concerning since it is not well temperature controlled at that point

      I have ordered these middles twice and both times they were great quality and easy to use and stuff. They held up very well during the drying process – all good. Delivery time and price was also very acceptable
