Both the sheep and hog casings are suitable for fresh or cured sausages and smoking.100% natural sausage casings from New Zealand Sheep & HogWhat is a natural sausage casing?Natural sausage casings are made from the small intestines of an animal, in NZ Casings Co.s case, free-range, grass-fed New Zealand sheep. They are cleaned and calibrated by hand and via machinery using only water. Sea salt is added to act as a natural preserving agent enabling them to survive outside of a fridge for relatively long periods of time.How do sausage casing sizes work?Casings are generally sold based on their diameter (often referred to as calibre). Natural sheep casings generally range from 20-30mm (0.8-1.2), sold as either 20/22 (as in 20-22mm), 22/24, 24/26 or 26/28. The measurement is the diameter of a casing once stuffed. Hog casings generally fall between 30-45mm/1.2-1.8 (32/35, 35/38 or 38/42). These sausage casings are 24-26mm/1-1 1/16 (or 24/26). This means they range from 24mm diameter to 26mm diameter, and that your sausage will therefore end up between 24-26mm. This is about the same size as an NZ $2 coin or a US quarter. Certain sausages have traditionally used certain sized casings but at NZCC we are not size-ist. Our motto is that its not the size of your sausage that counts. Whats important is the quality of the finished product.For more FAQs see NZ Casings Co Everything Youve Ever Wanted to Know About Sausage CasingsLets rid the world of mass-produced, inferior sausages and casings!Proudly family-owned and based in Whakatu, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.
