FAQs

Kosciuszko Wild Venison

Nutrition

Venison provides more protein per gram than any other red meat you could eat. This means Venison is perfect for a healthy diet, you feel fuller for longer and you get all the amino acids that your body needs.
Umami. That quintessential wholesome protein flavour you taste in meat-based casseroles, roasts, pies, soups, or miso; even vegemite! Venison flavours hover somewhere between lamb and beef, but with a finer, silkier texture and very little fat!

Orders & Shipping

Venison cuts are very similar to anything you see at the butchers shop. There are some exceptions like loin chops and cutlets. Why? Interestingly, unlike lamb or beef, there’s virtually no fat in the muscle, so it doesn’t “set” like high fat meat and the muscle can move when being sliced and that’s why we serve a lot of backstrap and eye of loin.

Our Methods

That stamp signifies Kosciuszko Wild Venison has passed rigorous audits and inspections to verify it meets with the Australian Standard, a world class benchmark that makes Australian Food exports so desirable. A system that starts with the design, materials and fittings of our purpose-built processing facility. Then, a Food Safety Program specific to that facility is also designed, compiled and tested. It’s based around HACCP (Haa-sip) Hazards Analysis and Critical Control Points, a systematic, science-based approach to food safety that identifies, evaluates, and controls potential hazards (biological, chemical, physical) in food production to prevent foodborne illnesses, covering the entire supply chain from farm to fork. It originated in the 1960’s to protect isolated workers far from home and care. Astronauts! You can read more about the principles of HAACP here: foodsafety.com.au/haccp-programs/what-is-haccp

Local land custodians might say yes as they do frequent their properties, but no, Kosci deer roam freely throughout the Snowy River catchment making their own wild determinations of what and where they want to eat. Our harvesting is totally on what we observe and can acquire on the night.
Because we harvest wild venison our deer are not affected by traditional farming practices. This means that by living wild they are not exposed to chemicals or hormones.
Well for a start, we don’t “hunt” venison. Hunting implies a chase, corner and kill method. Totally counterproductive to our outcomes of quality, ethics and sustainability. Our harvesters are artisans. They deploy their skills to be as unobservable to the deer as possible. This requires a great deal of practiced knowledge and patience. From a telescopic distance they need to observe the animal’s sex and weight, it’s physical demeanor and behaviour, and where it fits into our nightly manifest requirements . Dispatch is then swift and humane with instantaneous unconsciousness and a preservation of the all important blood sugars in the form of glycogen. Glycogen then catalyzes into lactic acid which is the ultimate component to exceptional quality red protein.
With every animal that wasn’t evolved here removed, we create a space for native species, (both plant and animal) to re-occupy that space. We don’t see a short-term paddock of dead feral animals as a success for the locals. We work towards removing the interlopers as a managed resource. Reducing populations and environmental stress by intensive rotational harvesting of mapped regions, everyday, year on year.
