Funzionalità Premium
Käsekrainer offers a savory, smoky, and cheesy flavor profile, creating a satisfying and rich experience.
The dominant flavors are smoky pork and creamy, slightly nutty cheese, typically Emmental or similar. Garlic and other spices contribute to the savory depth, while the casing provides a satisfying snap. The cheese melts during cooking, creating pockets of molten delight within the sausage.

Proper Cooking
Avoid boiling Käsekrainer, as this can cause the cheese to leak out. Grilling, pan-frying, or simmering in hot (but not boiling) water are preferred methods to retain the cheese inside the sausage.
Scoring the Sausage
Before cooking, score the sausage lightly with a knife. This prevents it from bursting open as the cheese melts and expands, allowing the steam to escape.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Käsekrainer with a dollop of spicy mustard (Estragonsenf), freshly grated horseradish (Kren), or pickled vegetables (Essiggurken). Crusty bread or fries are excellent accompaniments.
