Why is Cervena special
To qualify as Cervena® natural tender venison, the animal must be three years of age or under, and raised naturally without hormones or steriods on the fresh open pastures of New Zealand. Cervena® venison must be processed according to internationally recognized quality standards. This processing is independently audited to industry agreed standards. Combined quality and marketing criteria mean Cervena® venison delivers consistently high quality product.
