The MCJ Sales Team have been enjoying the sizzle of delicious sausages, thanks to the talented butchery students at Reaseheath College. In a collaboration designed to benefit both groups, students refined their craft while the MCJ team explored the full flavour potential of the popular Old Traditional Gourmet Sausage Mix—currently featured in our special promotion.
As part of the initiative, the sales team got hands-on experience with the versatile mix, while students experimented with a range of recipes from the new MCJ Casings Old Traditional Gourmet Mix Recipe Book. The partnership provided the perfect opportunity for both teams to deepen their product knowledge—through making, cooking, and, of course, tasting.

ABOUT OUR OLD TRADITONAL MIX
The Old Traditional Gourmet Mix offers exceptional flexibility. With its larger rusk size, it delivers a distinctive, breadcrumb-like texture, ideal for creating loose-textured, craft butcher-style sausages. Its balanced flavour profile also makes it perfect as a base for innovation—allowing butchers to easily add their own ingredients and develop unique sausage varieties.
Ian Hall, Sales Manager (and team chef!), shared his thoughts on the experience: “It was fantastic to get hands-on and actually cook and taste the recipes ourselves. The sausages prepared by the students at Reaseheath College—using our casings and Gourmet Mix—were excellent. We sampled several recipes, and I can honestly say they were delicious. Personally, I highly recommend the Salt and Pepper sausages—they were exquisite!”
Jay Tierney, MCJ Casings Managing Director added: “We’re passionate about supporting our customers and are proud of our long-standing relationship with Reaseheath College. They’ve been a valued partner for many years, using our products to train the next generation of butchers. Gary Evans, Butchery Lead at the college, and his students truly delivered—producing perfectly made, delicious sausages. Combined with our mix, quality meat, and casings, their skills created something really special.”
