Beware mechanically de-boned meat (MDM)

Low quality sausages are often made using cheap meat trimmings and meat that has been machine-scraped. This is known as mechanically de-boned meat (MDM), and is why you’ll encounter small bone chips and unappealing chunks of gristle when you eat low-grade cheap sausages.

Such a practice is frowned upon in countries where sausage-making remains a proud tradition. Sadly though, low-quality manufacturing practices, (and a desire to reduce production costs) have resulted in Australian sausages being arguably the least appealing in the world.

Eve Smallgoods approaches sausage-making in the manner of European craftsmen of old. We started making sausages in Vienna in 1863 and five generations later, we’re still using the traditional ways.

We won’t apologise for being uncompromising when it comes to the quality of our products. The art of making sausages is a cultural passion for us and you’ll taste the difference with every bite.

Our Master Sausage Maker is Austrian and he sources fresh, quality meat from local farm producers, as the base ingredient for all our products. Our skilled butchers then hand-cut the flesh from the bone, which ensures nasty bone chips do not result.

The only surprise we want consumers to get when eating our products is a new-found appreciation of flavour intensity and authenticity.
