ABOUT THE PRODUCTS
Te Mana Lamb
Te Mana means “food from heaven” and that is the perfect way to describe this incredible, one-of-a-kind New Zealand lamb. What makes Te Mana Lamb unique is it’s micr0-scale fat marbling and capacity for high levels of Omega-3. Aged for 21 days, Te Mana Lamb is extremely delicious, consistent, and versatile, retaining its shape and texture while cooking.
Pure South Venison
Pure South Venison is free range and grass-fed on natural pasture. The Pure South livestock live a life free from distress resulting in tender meat packed with nutrients and unparalleled in taste. The product featured in this contest, Pure South Venison Boneless Short Loin is the most tender venison cut. Its dusky red colour and succulent flavour is a magnificent combination to enlighten the senses. Enjoy the natural taste of 100% New Zealand Pure South venison on your table.
