Our products are not Kosher
 
Q.
Are Kaukauna Cheese products made with Pasteurized Milk?
A.
Almost all of our cold pack products are made from cheese that was fully pasteurized. Only our swiss cheese based products are made from cheese that was heat treated to 148°, but not pasteurized. We age all of those cheeses for at least 60 days and then blend them with other ingredients to create our spreadable cheeses without the aid of heat.
 
Q.
Do Kaukauna Cheese products need to be refrigerated?
A.
The spreadable cheese items should be kept refrigerated before opening, and should go back in the refrigerator after each use. Some of our products are shelf-stable, and need to be refrigerated only after opening. These include the nacho sauce, salsa, and dip items.
