High Temp Cheese That Holds Up to Heat and Delivers Big Flavor

Our high temp cheese is specially formulated to retain its shape and texture during smoking and cooking — even at temperatures up to 400°F. Perfect for stuffing into sausages, snack sticks, burgers, and more, it adds rich, melty pockets of flavor without breaking down under heat.

Available in cheddar, pepper jack, mozzarella, Swiss, and bleu, each variety is diced for easy blending and evenly distributed flavor in every bite.

What Makes It Different From Regular Cheese

Ordinary cheddar melts at around 150°F and runs out of the casing during smoking, leaving hollow pockets and greasy sausage. High temperature cheese is processed so the curd holds its structure to 400°F, giving you defined cheese pockets in the finished product instead of a smear. It's what makes jalapeño cheddar summer sausage and cheese snack sticks possible at home.

The usual rate is 10 to 15% by weight — roughly 1 to 1.5 lb per 10 lb of meat. Add it after the final grind and mix gently so the cubes stay whole.

What It Isn't For

If your recipe depends on the cheese melting — an Austrian Kasekrainer, for example — use real Emmental instead. High temp cheese is the right choice whenever you want the cheese to stay put.

Pair with summer sausage seasoning and fibrous casings, or 19mm collagen casings for snack sticks.

Smoke it. Cook it. Enjoy real cheese flavor that lasts — only from The Sausage Maker.
