Refrigeration
The natural casings should be kept refrigerated until ready for use. Un-refrigerated, these salted casings may give off a strong odor. This is Normal. 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.

this is the second time that I ordered these casings and have been pleased with the results. I previously could only find casings locally at the area grocery chain and only during the fall of the year. These casings seemed like they were short leftover ends (the longest were 3 ft) and they had all of these unsightly strings attached that had to be individually picked off. They seemed to split very easily. when i received the casings the Sausage Maker, the first thing i noticed is that these casings were full length. the second thing i noticed was that i had virtually no blow outs during the stuffing process and finally there was none of the unsightly membrane strings hanging on to the outside of the casing. i couldn’t have been more pleased.
