Fibrous casings are non-edible and string tied at one end. These fibrous casings are mahogany and printed with "Venison Sausage - Not for Sale". Fibrous casings allow moisture, air, and smoke to penetrate the casing, making it perfect for any type of bologna, cooked sausage, as well as dry (Genoa salami) or semi-dry sausage (summer sausage) and other cured sausages. Soak casings in warm water for 30 minutes prior to stuffing.
