Fiborous salami bags

[Hoops]

Use these bags for the first time to stuff soprasatta-They also held up very well to pressing

Hoops First, great name, second, what casings? How long have you been making soprasatta

[Hoops]

Making soprasatta (soupies as we call them in coal region of NE PA.for over 40 years-usually use beef middles but tried the fiborous salami bags for about 20lbs, so far they are looking good and holding up just like a natural casing.

Hoops awesome, keep us updated. Fibrous casings are a lot easier to store than beef middles!

[Hoops]

Jonathon Usually we brush olive oil on the natural casing after drying and vacuum pack-should I just do the same with the fibrouse casing

[Jonathon]

Hoops I would think that they do not need it. Would it be for appearances?

[Hoops]

To preserve-old timers used crocks, put the cured soupies in and covered with olive oil- most now just brush with olive oil and vacuum seal-did not know if the salami bags are porous and the oil would leak through

[Jonathon]

Hoops Two types of bags, struck or unstruck. The struck ones I would probably think would leak and unstruck I would think would not. I will see what I can do on some testing here!
