It’s SALAMI time! 🐷
We always fill our salami with a filler, they are quick and easy, and offer great control to the user. All of our fillers come with 4 different size nozzles to suit small or large casings. The model in the video is a Reber 5kg Stainless Steel Sausage Filler - Made in Italy of course.

The casings used are dehydrated casings when making salami. They are natural product (in this case hog collagen) that are formed in to a shape and dehydrated. These are sealed on one end. They perform the same as fresh casings, but have the advantage of being uniform in size and quality, they’re stronger than fresh casings, don’t require cleaning, and no smells! Simply rehydrate for a couple of seconds - we use wine - and fill!

Stock up on quality casings, sausage fillers, capsicum sauce, string, spices, vac bags, mincers, netting and more - all made in Italy!
Shop in store or online now, with delivery available Australia wide.

🐽 Salami casings
🐽 Sausage fillers
🐽 Italian made capsicum salsa
🐽 Electric meat mincers

🐽 String and Netting
🐽 …and more!

29/05/2026

🔉Sound on for this one! Applying netting onto your salami has never been easier! Using our special tube with a conical top, the net is stretched out, allowing you to apply a tight as possible netting over your salami.
Netting your salami and small goods provides constant and even pressure, helping to provide a uniform texture as well to prevent air pockets. Netting also helps to keep a nice round shape.
Netting application tubes come in a range of diameters to suit different size nettings and salami, capocolli and more.

The SALAMI HAND CRIMPER 🐷 A lifesaver when tying off salami casings! The crimper is used to apply string and close both ends of the salami casings, especially the collagen casings.

What we love about our collagen casings is that they are on a continuous reel, and can be cut to any length, they are extremely strong and only need to be dipped (we use wine) for a couple of seconds to rehydrate.

Salami crimpers and staples are available online and in store. We also are fully stocked with all of our salami casings, netting, Cryvac bags, mincers, sausage fillers and more! Delivery is available Australia and New Zealand wide.

The BBQs are also the perfect width of fit the meat on the skewer, so the meat will get perfectly cooked but the bamboo skewer won’t 🤩
The legs can also be removed so it can be easily transported or put away for storage!!
