What the quality of our sheep casings constitutes
Sheep casings during sausage production
Saitlings, also known as sheep casings, occupy a leading position in sausage production. They are particularly valued for the production of the finest sausages such as Nürnberger, Wiener and Frankfurter. Their characteristic crunch when bitten and their ability to withstand the filling, cooking and smoking processes make them a favourite choice in sausage production. The characteristic crackling when biting into the sausage is a special feature of the Saitling and part of its great economic importance in the use of natural casings.
Qualitative properties of sheep casings
Saitlings are known for their tenderness, but still offer sufficient strength to withstand the various stages of sausage production. Their high air permeability allows the sausage flavour to develop intensively, while the high moisture extraction in long-life sausages helps to improve preservation. The colour variation from white to grey, depending on the country of origin, does not affect the quality or the filling properties of the sausage.
Caliber of sheep casings
Sheep casings are available in various sizes, which are determined by the inner diameter of the casing in millimeters. Fine sizes such as 16/18 mm are ideal for small sausages like Nuremberg or mini Vienna sausages. Larger sizes, around 20/22 mm or 24/26 mm, are often used for classic Vienna sausages, Frankfurters, or bratwurst. The choice of size affects not only the appearance of the finished sausage but also its consistency, bite, and cooking properties.
Why sheep casings are the best choice for sausage products:
Sheep casings, made from the intestines of cattle, pigs or sheep, is an edible sausage casing and the traditional choice for sausage products. In contrast, artificial casings are produced artificially and often contain animal products. There are many differences between natural and artificial casings, with natural casings offering numerous advantages, such as edibility and natural origin.
One of the oldest packaging materials in the world gives sausages their characteristic appearance. In a study conducted by the German Society for Consumer Research, 2,500 people were asked about their shopping behaviour. The results show that sausages in sheep casings are much more popular with consumers than sausages in artificial casings. Iranian sheep casings, the Saitlinge, which are known for their high quality, are particularly popular.
Sheep casings are regarded as environmentally friendly and are considered to be of higher quality, more appetising and more genuine. The health safety of sausages in sheep casings is also rated more favourably. A study shows that more than half of consumers would prefer the more expensive sausage in sheep casings, even with a price difference of 10%.
