How to Start a Native Longganisa Making Business

Among the fresh processed meats, longganisa is the most regularly purchased pork product, which is known to be a Filipino version of hotdog. Any part of a pork carcass like ham (pigue), shoulder (kasim), loin (lomo), and others, except the belly (liempo), can be made into longganisa.

1. Select good quality meat.
2. Grind meat and fat coarsely.
3. Measure or weigh all the ingredients.
4. Add meat to the curing mix and mix thoroughly in a bowl, then add extenders and mix again.
5. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until well blended.
6. Cure at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours or in refrigerator for one day.
7. Stuff cleaned, fresh, natural, or collagen casing, using a funnel.
8. Prick stuffed casing with needle to remove air.
9. Link in desired length, usually 4 inches long.
10. Place longganisa in polyetheylene plastic bag in ¼ or ½ kg. packages. Remove the trapped air inside the bag and seal immediately.
11. Store in freezer.
