Simply put the casings back into the refrigerator and the odor will subside. Natural casings should never be frozen. It affects their integrity after thawing and will cause more blowouts.

However, this casing is perfect to stuff my sausages, they do not have a larger amount per container.

I’ve been a hobby customer for around 20 years. The casings, as well as all other products, have been far superior than any other company’s.

we have bought casings from three different places around LA in the past 10 years, but the quality was inconsistent and they were quite pricey, not to mention the fact that with traffic every trip to get them were about 2 hours long. I was a bit skeptical about ordering online, but cannot be more content with the quality and price offered here. Just finished our sausages made at Christmas and ready to order some more today.
