Our sheep casings are ideal for thin sausage production, are strong enough to maintain their integrity and can withstand high-pressure meat filling without splitting. Our natural sheep casings are commonly used in smoked and cooked sausages, such as frankfurters, bratwurst, weisswurst and fresh sausages. Their natural permeability allows smoke and seasoning to penetrate evenly, enhancing flavour in cooked and smoked products.
As Australia’s leading lamb and sheep casing supplier, Superior Casings specialises in ‘Super A’ quality thin sausage casings with long stands to reduce the risk of splitting during stuffing. These casings are extremely efficient to fill, enabling sausage and smallgoods manufacturers to improve production speeds and lower costs.
All natural lamb casings from Superior are cleaned and salted at one of our export-registered casing cleaning facilities — all of which have achieved accreditation from Australian and international bodies, including AQIS, Ausmeat, and USDA. The sheep casings are then transported to our main export-registered selecting plant and head office/warehouse in Marrickville, NSW, where they are re-selected, salted and tubed before they’re ready to be dispatched to various markets throughout Australasia and the Pacific.
Our premium-quality natural sheep and lamb casings are available in sizes ranging from 18mm to 26mm and above. Depending on your production needs, you can choose from butcher quality and fine emulsions smallgoods quality.
We also supply lamb and sheep bungs, which are well-suited for traditional specialty products, including but not limited to salami, cotechino, sopressa and bung fritz. These thicker-walled casings are excellent for fermented, cured or cooked sausages that require a larger diameter. Their strength and durability make them a reliable choice for producers aiming to preserve the shape, texture and flavour profile of their specialty smallgoods. All bungs are carefully graded, cleaned and salted at our export-registered facilities and are available in various lengths to suit different production needs.
Our natural sheep and lamb casings are easy to prepare for at-home sausage makers. Start by rinsing them in fresh water to desalt them, then soak in warm water (maximum 40°C) for 40 minutes. Right before stuffing and filling, transfer them into cold water and flush water throughout the casing as you pull it onto the stuffing horm.
As specialists in the casing industry, Superior’s team works alongside butchers across Australia to help them select the perfect thin sausage casing for the best outcome at the most economical price. Our salespeople are all qualified butchers who support every customer’s production goals, ensuring they create the best-looking and tasting product efficiently and economically.
