Venison Shoulder Stew Meat from New Zealand (450g)
One pack of venison dices cut from either the rump or shoulder - ideal for stews. Also known as venison goulash meat. Each pack contains 450g (15.8oz) of very nicely cut venison - these are not trimmings! Purely cut from the shoulder of deer - these cuts are extremely lean and therefore only suitable for slow and pressure cooking. They are cut quite large, please feel free to further cut them down into smaller sizes if preferred.
Venison, the other red meat. Often found on the menus of upscale restaurants throughout the world. Most folks associate venison with gamey odor and tough meat - that is most likely wild venison. Give our free-range farmed venison a chance, it'll change your concept on venison.
Our premium quality venison comes from deer that is sustainably all-time pasture-raised in small herds on very large pastures run by real family farms of New Zealand. The deers are purely bred for taste. The difference between pasture-raised venison and wild venison is subtle delicate flavor and superb tenderness mostly due to a healthy, low-stress life and a careful selective breeding process. It goes without saying that the animals have never been treated with antibiotics or growth hormones.
