Natural casings are unequalled in taste, tenderness and texture.
Rich in collagen yet gossamer-thin, natural casings have a unique combination of tenderness, thinness and pliability that no man-made casing has come close to imitating. Holding their shape when twisted, they also don't break as easily as synthetic casings.
When it comes to taste, there is no comparison. Tiny microscopic pores work their invisible magic on many levels, allowing sausages to 'breathe' when resting; to fill with flavour when smoking, and stew in their own juicy goodness when cooking.
For an infinitely yummier and more agreeable snag, only 'au naturel' will do.
