Cervena Venison
Cervena Natural Tender Venison, a unique New Zealand food.
From the fresh, open farmlands of New Zealand comes a meat so tender, so delicious, that we gave it its own name. It's called Cervena® natural tender venison.
About the Name:
The name Cervena reaches back to historical origins, combiningcervidae, the Latin word for deer, with venison.
Criteria to Become Cervena Venison:
In order to qualify as Cervena Natural Tender Venison, the farmed animals must meet specific criteria:

- Naturally raised:
- the deer must be able to roam and graze freely in natural conditions on the pastures of the farm
- no growth hormones or steroids are administered to the animals
