We added beef jerky as a new custom product in 1995. The secret to our jerky is very lean cuts of beef seasoned to perfection! We cut and hang each piece by hand before sending it into the smoker. The results are a low-fat, mouth-watering treat that has become a favorite for many.

Stripling’s Old Fashioned Red Rind Hoop cheese is mild in taste and is wonderful when served as a dessert cheese with melons, berries, and various wines.

But red rind hoop cheese is also great to have on hand in the summer when the squash is coming in fresh from the fields and you feel like whipping up a yummy squash casserole. Our recipe below for Summer Squash Casserole makes an impressive main course in and of itself since the cheese and eggs give heartiness. Pair it alongside sliced fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and other garden vegetables as well as a slice or two of homemade corn bread.

Summer Squash Casserole
4 cups cubed yellow squash
1 medium onion, chopped
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs
2/3 cup melted butter
1 pound wedge Stripling’s Old Fashioned Red Rind Hoop Cheese, grated
1 ¾ cup crushed Ritz crackers
Salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced

1. Cook squash until crisp to tender. Drain completely. Beat egg and milk together and add to squash. Then stir in onion, ½ of melted butter and ½ of crushed Ritz crackers; add ½ grated cheese. Mix together along with salt, pepper, and garlic.

2. Place into oblong casserole dish greased with butter. Sprinkle remainder of cheese on top, then sprinkle remainder of Ritz crackers on top of cheese.

3. With teaspoon dribble balance of butter over crackers and bake in 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes making sure crackers are toasted but not scalded.

We dip pecans in a combination of pure creamy butter, brown sugar, and thick syrup and gently toast them to a delicate, sweet crunch.

Delicious as an addition to your favorite salad.

Stripling’s Old Fashioned Black Rind Hoop Cheese is the sharp variety, which means it is more acidic and pungent in taste than the milder Stripling’s Red Rind Hoop Cheese. The pronounced flavor is an asset when making that superb Southern staple, pimiento cheese spread.

Often pimiento cheese is used on sandwiches, and it’s typically one of the non-sweet food choices at the refreshment table of women-only soirees such as baby showers, bridal showers, or monthly garden club meetings. In any of these instances, it would be quite important that the crusts be sliced off and the sandwiches cut into smaller sections or squares prior to being meticulously arranged on a stunning serving platter.

Our recipe below for Pimiento Cheese Spread has a wonderful ‘kick’ due to the sharpness of the cheese, and the smaller grating size makes it blend more smoothly.


Southern Pimiento Cheese Spread

2 pounds Stripling’s Old Fashioned Black Rind (Sharp) Hoop cheese, grated
8 ounces (minimum) pimiento from jar
½ cup chopped, roasted pecans
Duke’s brand mayonnaise (enough to make mixture creamy or to desired consistency)
(Salt and pepper as needed)

1. Grate cheese to smallest possible size preferably using hand-crank grater.
2. Add in pimentos and pecans. Then mix in mayonnaise slowly, making sure not to over saturate.
3. Refrigerate for a few hours to let flavors seep together and chill ingredients well.
3. Spread on bread for sandwiches or use to place on top of crackers, nachos, or pita wedges.
