For Fallow Cervena tenderloin, a quick, high-heat sear with just salt, pepper, and neutral oil is ideal due to its low fat content. Keep the meat rare to medium-rare to maintain its tenderness and juiciness. Pair it with sautéed bitter greens like kale or chard to enhance the natural sweetness of the venison.
As free-range as it gets without being wild, our venison comes from a group of New Zealand ranchers who allow the Fallow deer to roam and feed on tall-grass pastures in a pristine environment, in accordance with the strict standards required by the Cervena name.
Cervena is a quality assurance program that certifies that all the venison with their label has been humanely pasture-raised, and 100% grass-fed with only minimal supplemental feed such as hay. Only in cases of extreme disease will antibiotics be administered, and then the animal is tracked and processed separately.
Cervena also requires that animals be less than three years of age at the time of processing, which takes place only at accredited facilities expert in processing deer, and specifically licensed and regularly audited by an independent agency.
