There is a member on another site (BBQ) that has posted a question about Capicola casing. I was hoping y'all good fellas could answer it if at all possible?? :grin:

It comes in sheets and you roll the meat in it, and then put it in a rope casing or net casing.
Does anyone know what Im taking about?
And if so, do you know or does anyone know where you buy it?

It's like collagen sheets of paper and you roll the chunks of meat in it, then slide the netting over that.
I know it's made somewhere, cuz my friend uses it to make the capicola. But he can't even find it anymore.
I'll keep looking thanks.
I do not know of the product that is in question. It sounds to me like it may just be a collagen casing that is sliced open or not formed into a tube. Thanks a bunch for any info. I'll try and get this member to come on over here :mrgreen:

The man to ask is Charlie Taylor. He has a terrific website and if he doesn't know the answer, I don't know who would.
Charlie goes by the handle Cranky Buzzard on our forum. Why not shoot him a message and see what he says? Then let us in on it too! :mrgreen:

Best Wishes,
