New Zealand Red Deer

Our lamb has a unique profile combining the ideal balance of size and maturity. Harvesting the lamb at the optimal age, while the structure is fine and compact, gives a high degree of tenderness and a "blushy" nature that contrasts beautifully with the white crystalline fat marbled throughout. The red marrowed bone, characteristic of a healthy, active lamb, infuses delicate flavor throughout the meat during cooking. We cultivate the natural quality of these outstanding animals under our patented Safe Alternative protocol, showing them respect, humane treatment, and recording our careful stewardship throughout their lives.

The White Pheasant boasts a remarkable yield that is sure to bring a wow factor to your cutting board and your guests' table. With a constant supply of fresh spring water, the Pheasant live a chemical free existence. No hormones, antibiotics, or flavor enhancers are used in the raising of these Pheasant.

Hot legs are a desirable attribute for many-a species and well-bred swine are no exception. Herb and Kathy Eckhouse take fully aged legs of Prosciutto Americano and rub them down with a balanced blend of fennel, sea salt, and red chilies that deepens the meat's earthy sweetness. The heat is subtle, and deserves to be paired with one-of-a-kind cheeses, like Mahon Curado and Zimbro. These sheep milk cheeses have extra edge that creates some complexity on the palate, especially when given a boost by the meat's chili spice. It's an ideal tapas meat to include on a spread with marcona almonds, sheep cheeses, and grilled sardines. A combination of traditional craftsmanship and regional flavor, this addition to La Quercia's line of dry cured meats exemplifies their motto: 'American made, American inspired cured meats.' We say: keep those hot legs coming our way!
