Clean, Lean, Deep Flavor
Although not native, this is a "BIG" deer. The introduction of pastured Red Deer has revolutionize a part of the Venison demand. Presenting "slabs" of meat for a skilled hunter's dinner table and readied and plentiful cuts for the chef who "hunts" for quality. Venison of this prestige has the distinguished "wild" flavor of game and the refinement of a pampered protein.
Succulent
Pasture-raised in Spain on a diet of grain, grass, forage and acorns. Protected from the central mountainous region of the Iberian Peninsula, the privileged microclimate in this area with its cold, dry winters and its short, mild summers is an ideal setting for our hams to dry and mature perfectly. In this area, with its unbeatable microclimate, every day hundreds of artisans, who are sons and grandsons of artisans, slowly and masterfully create the Guijuelo Iberian Ham, which is a 'one-of-a-kind in the world.'
Savory, Slightly Sweet, Robust
The Alligator has multiple cuts with the tail meat being the most prized for quick cooking methods, and the legs, ribs, and other cuts have been reserved for sausages and slower methods like stews, soups, jambalaya, and gumbos. The description of Gator meat is as varied as its culinary applications. Personally, (being from a Gulf state), I like to say it has a resemblance of rabbit... if rabbit were a fish. It has a texture of chicken crossed with squid, and a hint of crab flavor. You can make your own comparisons and analogies once it hits your test kitchen.
