This week we had our first salami class of the season! 🐽
Thank you very much to everyone that booked in to join, and we are thrilled to see that the interest in continuing this fantastic tradition is still going strong! We have a busy schedule over the next couple of months. There are still limited positions for Monday July 6th 2.30pm. Book in now or miss out!
Bookings can be made through our website www.costanteimports.com.au
We are also fully stocked for the salami season with plenty of:
🐽 Salami casings
🐽 Sausage fillers
🐽 Italian made capsicum salsa
🐽 Electric meat mincers
🐽 spices
🐽 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.
