The smallest members of the sausage-casing world, sheep casings’ gossamer-thin skins lend sausages their uniquely delicate ‘snap’ or bite. Sheep casings have a completely translucent appearance that no man-made casing has ever successfully replicated. They range from 16 to 30 millimeters in diameter. Special care must be taken when handling sheep casings as they are most susceptible to tears. Soak for at least 45 minutes before rinsing.
