Preservation If the package is opened and not all the contents are used, it should be kept in a plastic bag at a temperature of between 5 and 10ºC and at a relative humidity of 60 to 70%. We also recommend the same storage conditions for boxes that have been exposed to adverse conditions for any reason.
Qualities - Use
EDICAS K Basically for “English breakfast sausages”.
EDICAS N For Wieners and Frankfurters, but not for Bratwurst. Can also be used for uncooked sausages when high-speed filling is required. The casing has lower elasticity, so it has improved resistance to cooking and smoking conditions. Stands up well to grilling.
EDICAS NU For standard uncooked sausage as it is more elastic with better resistance to the relaxation of the casing after filling. Suitable for grilling and deep-frying and for sausages that have to dry out slightly.
EDICAS S Coloured casings.
Presentation
Presentation The package containing the casings is covered by a plastic film that hermetically seals the box, thus acting as a barrier to prevent loss of moisture and maintain the humidity of the casings until they are used.

Casings are normally sold in 15-meter long pleated sticks.

Other sizes can be produced to suit the requirements of our customers.

A plastic film is placed around the sticks in the package to facilitate loading them into the hopper of automatic sausage-filling machines.
