      Packed in a brine with a plastic bucket. Much better than salt crusted ones, they are more tender and take less to get the salt out.

      Have been a loyal customer for 10 years. Make our own sausage several times a year. Over the last year we have noticed that the casings dont stuff as much products as they use to. There is more shorter strands of casings that lead to more waste. Years past there were more longer casings rather than numerous shorter ones. Switching vendors.

      I would always buy the small bags of natural casings from the store. They were always varied lengths and full of holes. When I received the hank of hog casings, they were all pretty much the same length and no holes. I will reorder these casings.

      Great buy. If you don’t use all of the casings, the cute little bucket stores well in the back corner in the kitchen fridge.

      I placed my order on a Friday and to my disbelief it was at my door the next day! Sausage Maker is always spot on. Thank you.

      Tried for first time this size casing. Normally use 35-38 and these were better allowing for shrinkage after cooking to get a better kielbasa and Italian sausage
