We take pride in sourcing our premium Elk from New Zealand, a country famed for their pristine pastures and unpolluted skies. Our New Zealand elk is called the Wapiti, a Native American word for white rump, and refers to the cross of the Roosevelt elk and the New Zealand red deer. While similar to venison, Wapiti Elk is larger, and thus delivers larger meat cuts and has a beefy flavor that’s and tender, with none of the gaminess or toughness of game. Discover this great meat and all our cuts below.

Most of our elk at Gourmet Food World comes from Broadleaf game, a family-owed and run meat company from New Zealand. From them we source the coveted Cervena elk. The Cervena Appellation comes with a seal of quality and consistency, which means that all products sold with the Cervena label come under special scrutiny and supervision. From birth to harvest, Cervena elk are raised in pristine small farms, completely grass-fed and free range. These animals are never given antibiotics or hormones and are always harvested at 3 or younger. This international seal of quality is highly appreciated by meat lovers and chefs alike.
New Zealand elk is naturally lean, but this red meat is full of flavor – more than beef and more than American venison for sure. Full of nutrients like protein, iron and zinc, elk is a great healthy meat alternative. And because elk is sweeter than venison, it lends itself to more unexpected flavor combinations. Plus, New Zealand elk is larger, which means you get bigger, more showpiece-worthy pieces. Large and succulent tenderloins, saddles, ribs and Denver leg are available to buy online at Gourmet Food World and make your wild game menu more delicious.
