What Are Natural Sausage Casings?
Natural sausage casings are derived from the intestines of pigs, lambs or cattle and have been a staple of traditional sausage-making for centuries. Compared to artificial casings made from synthetic or processed materials, natural casings deliver a much more tender bite while offering that beloved “snap” when bitten. Some other advantages include:
Elasticity and production benefits
Natural casings’ high elasticity and tensile strength mean they can be filled more efficiently without ripping or tearing, meaning less time re-threading casings. As an added benefit, natural casings are endothermic, so they draw heat away from the sausage, helping to prolong shelf life and maintain a fresher-looking product.
Breathability
Thanks to their naturally porous nature (sometimes referred to as the osmotic characteristic), natural casings allow smoke, heat and seasonings to permeate more effectively. This ensures a richer, more robust flavour profile and promotes gradual moisture release — helping your sausages stay succulent and juicy while cooking evenly on all sides. These unique qualities also make natural sausage casings ideal for smoking, grilling or other traditional cooking methods.
Sustainability
Unlike energy-intensive, plastic-based casings, natural casings are a by-product of the meat industry and are sourced directly from the abattoir, requiring no extra resources to manufacture. By opting for natural hog, lamb or beef casings, butchers and manufacturers can conserve natural resources and reduce plastic waste for more sustainable production methods.
Organic-only option
For butchers and smallgoods manufacturers catering to the organic market, hog, lamb and beef natural casings are the only type approved for use in certified organic sausage production.
Appearance
Because natural casings come from real animal intestines, they usually vary in thickness, colour and shape, lending each sausage a rustic, homemade appeal.
