These casings are designed to be an improved solution over traditional natural casings. Thanks to specific drying processes, MAEXTRA casings offer perfect gauges and precise measurements, ensuring a uniform final product. 

They are 100% natural, do not require cold storage, and are robust, making them an ideal substitute for many types of sausages.

MAEXTRA is available in different gauges and lengths, by pieces or on tubes.
