- 3KG of pre-minced soft Pork Fat for home Sausage Making.
- Fat is essential to a good sausage and soft pork fat is the best fat for sausages. With its neutral flavour, silky, creamy texture and bright white colour, pork fat will give you a tastier, juicier sausage. A sausage without enough fat will be dry.
- Your finished sausage should be about 25-30% fat. If your meat does not have enough fat, add pork fat to make up the difference. All venison, beef and chicken, most cuts of lamb and some pork cuts will all need to have added pork fat.
- As a guide, 3kg of pork fat needs to be added to the following quantities of meat to give you a meat/fat mix with 25% fat:
| Animal |
% Fat in Animal |
KG Meat |
KG Pork Fat |
Total Meat + Fat | Total fat % |
| Venison | 3% | 11kg | 3kg | 14kg | 25% |
| Beef | 12% | 20kg | 3kg | 23kg | 25% |
| Lamb | 20% | 57kg | 3kg | 60kg | 25% |
