Frequently Asked Questions about Elk Meat
1What does New Zealand Elk Meat taste like?
Our New Zealand Elk is slightly sweet with a rich, layered flavor. The taste of naturally grazed elk has subtle variations, depending on the region where the animal was raised and the local plants that make up the animal’s diet. The texture of elk meat is generally quite tender, lean, and succulent. The taste of elk meat is often compared to venison, but the flavor of elk is slightly milder, making it a great place to start if you’re looking to broaden your palate.
2Are there health benefits to eating naturally grazed elk?
Eating naturally grazed elk meat has numerous health benefits. It is a lean source of protein that has a much lower fat content than standard grain-fed beef or pork. Elk meat is also very rich in essential amino acids, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 — these can all help support healthy muscle growth, immune function, and red blood cell production. Naturally grazed elk meat also contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, known for their anti-inflammatory properties and heart health benefits. Our naturally grazed elk meat is also free from antibiotics and added hormones.
3Why are you sourcing Elk from New Zealand?
Elk, especially elk that is naturally grazed, is always in high demand by our customers. And, like all natural things, the process can’t be rushed. Since we must patiently wait for the right time to harvest our animals, this means we often run out of Elk long before the next North American season begins. However, the New Zealand elk season is opposite to ours, affording us the opportunity to source more naturally grazed elk all year long — without compromising our standards and quality. Since the flavor is also slightly different, this also offers our customers the opportunity to try something new!
