Proper Storage Guidelines

Optimal Storage Conditions

Temperature: Store between 0°C - 4°C (32°F - 39°F) for best results
Humidity: Maintain relative humidity at 70-80% to prevent drying or excessive moisture
Light: Keep in a dark environment to prevent light-induced degradation
Ventilation: Ensure proper air circulation to maintain freshness
Position: Store packages in a horizontal position to maintain even salt distribution

Storage Best Practices

Inspect packages upon arrival for any damage or signs of contamination
Keep original packaging intact until ready to use
Rotate stock using the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) principle
Avoid storing near strong-smelling products that could affect casing flavor
Monitor storage conditions regularly with temperature and humidity sensors

Handling Instructions

Wear clean gloves when handling casings to prevent contamination
Thaw frozen casings slowly in the refrigerator (do not use hot water)
Rinse casings thoroughly with cold water before use to remove excess salt
Dispose of any damaged or discolored casings immediately
Keep unused casings properly sealed and refrigerated
