We have been using these for around the last 15 years! In fact when we were living in Buffalo, I always went to their store at the Clinton Market to buy these! Always excellent quality.
Highly recommended!

Keep it on hand. Keep it salted and it will last a long time. Might as well buy a big jar. Great ‘Crunch’ for brats and everyone wants to know where I got the big breakfast sausage.

Since this is the first time ever using a natural casing I found it a little more difficult to work with while wearing gloves but quickly got the hang of it and it worked out fine. This casing has some surprising strength to it while stuffing yet is not present while eating. I highly recommend it.
