Product overview

100% natural material

Salted natural sheep casings, bundled
Salted sheep casings · bundled hanks

Natural sheep casings are made from the small intestines of healthy sheep through scraping, cleaning, grading and salting. As the oldest natural sausage casing — still irreplaceable today — their purely natural character gives sausages an authentic flavor and bite.

  • 100% natural and edible — blends with the meat for an authentic bite
  • Thin yet tough — withstands filling, smoking and cooking without bursting
  • Good breathability for even smoke penetration and a natural, glossy appearance
  • Strict caliber grading — uniform within the batch, ideal for standardized production
