These casings are the best i’ve had in a long time. I had no problems stuffing them and their were no holes in them.

I’ve never made my own sausage before but these casings made it so much easier. They were very easy to pull apart. After soaking them and washing them off we had no problems with tears or rips. So much better than the artificial casings. Our sausage also tasted amazing! Definitely going to keep using this brand and supplier!

As always, the casings are of premium quality. My only objection is with the packaging. They used to come in a plastic pail and now come in a box, which is of no use to store in the fridge. And the plastic bag the casings are in would be better as a zip-loc bag for easy resealing.

My parents would make sausage back in the 70’s and 80’s, and when they did they used the casings from your company. Luckily, when I asked my mother who she used, she still had an old seasoning can from you, so I searched for your company online and found it. Now, I can make the same Italian sausage they did, recipe and casings.
The casings are great! They did not break at all when I was stuffing them, and I didn’t feel like I had to be too gentle with them. They came very quickly to my house. Now that I have found your company, you’ll be my only source of sausage casings, or anything else I see I need.

We have only used 1 time. The only thought is that it was inconsistent with the diameter. Other than that, very pleased so far.
