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.

Packed in salt, and very simple to get ready for stuffing. A lot of pieces much longer than you would expect for a Home Pak. Very happy with them and will purchase again.

The sausage casings are great, but my special instructions were ignored. I requested the face of a pig be drawn on my package but, alas, no friendly swine was to be found.
