- When the meat has surfaced, turn off the stove and let the fillet finish on the afterheat if necessary
- Aim for 55-56 degrees in internal temperature, important that it does not get overcooked.

The fillets are relatively small compared to e.g. moose and most packages contain 2-3 fillets.
Feel free to drink a full-bodied wine to clean the fillet to maximize the taste experience.

Shipping temperature
All meat is shipped frozen (below -18ºC). When it then reaches you, in some cases it may have thawed a little at the edges, but there is no danger to the quality of the meat and it is definitely not a health risk.
We guarantee that your meat will never reach a temperature above 4ºC during shipping. If for some inexplicable reason this has still happened, please contact us, and we will make sure that we solve it for you in the best way.
Game meat is very durable, thanks in large part to its low fat content, so it's always OK to refreeze the meat without it taking any significant damage. However, we always recommend keeping the meat well chilled below 4ºC and consuming it within 7 days of its arrival.
Environmentally friendly packaging solutions
Sustainable shipping is very important to us. Therefore, we do not use styrofoam, EPS or similar environmentally unfriendly packaging materials. Our packaging is fully recyclable, biodegradable and/or reusable.
Your meat will be packed in a bag made of recycled material. This bag then goes into our designed box along with frozen cooling gel. These cooling gels ensure that the meat stays at the right temperature during the journey to you. The cooling gel is of course food approved and you can reuse it many times over. If you decide to throw them away, do so as they are with other combustible waste. Do not pour the contents into the sink as it may expand slightly in contact with water and clog your drain.
As insulation, we use sheep's wool, nature's own best insulation, to ensure that the meat maintains the right temperature during transport. Sheep wool is 100% degradable and you can put it on the compost (but take it out of the thin plastic cover first) or reuse it for different purposes. The box is made of 100% recycled cardboard and can be left in paper recycling.
