Chef-mate White Cheddar Cheese Sauce #10 Can (6 lb 10 oz) — Ready-to-Serve, Steam-Table Stable

Chef-mate White Cheddar Cheese Sauce is a ready-to-serve, shelf-stable bulk cheese sauce made from real white aged cheddar, packed in a 6 lb 10 oz #10 can for foodservice use.

This white cheddar sauce delivers a velvety, consistent texture and genuine cheddar flavor without artificial flavors or synthetic colors. Formulated for professional kitchens, it arrives cooked before canning to lock in taste and prevent metallic or boiled notes that sometimes occur with standard canned sauces. The large #10 can stacks easily in supplies and offers reliable steam-table performance, making it a practical base for dips, entrees, and on-demand finishing.

How does this sauce behave in steam tables and hot-holding?

The sauce is designed for extended hot-holding: it maintains smooth texture and flavor for up to four hours on a steam table. Because Chef-mate cooks the product before sealing it, the sauce resists separation and off-flavors during holding, so your service line stays dependable during busy shifts.

• Superior steam-table hold time: up to 4 hours
• Stable emulsion reduces oil-off and graininess
• Pre-cooked under pressure to prevent scorching and metallic tastes
• Ready-to-serve straight from the can when heated

What are easy ways to customize the white cheddar sauce?

Use the sauce as a flexible foundation for multiple applications—from handhelds to plated entrees. Add fresh or sautéed vegetables, herbs, spices, or proteins to create signature dips, mac-and-cheese, vegetable gratins, or pourable finishes without starting from scratch.

• Mix in wilted spinach, kale, or artichokes for a vegetable-forward dip
• Blend with diced peppers, bacon, or pulled chicken for a loaded topping
• Stir in spices (paprika, mustard powder) to tailor flavor profiles
• Use as a base for baked pasta, nachos, or sauce-for-servings
