The fillet is the finest piece of the deer. It is a very tender, healthy and sustainable cut that is best cooked in a simple manner to really bring out the strong wilderness taste.
This is not only among the most tender meat there is but as well also very tasty. If you use it for barbecue you should grill it hard for a short while so it gets a lot color. Grill it to 52-55 degrees , then you will have a fallow deer meat that is absolutly delightful. It is best enjoyed cooked as medium/rare.
Wild deer has a slightly milder wild taste compared to e.g. moose or wild boar. It is however, equally tender and healthy.
Pair it with a well-balanced wine to maximise the culinary experience.
Tender and healthy
- All our meat is hung for 4-7 days to add extra tenderness and taste
- Wild deer meat is very lean and low in cholesterol
- Obviously no preservatives or antibiotics have EVER been near this meat
Sustainable meat
- No water waste whatsoever
- No animal transports
- Hunting in the Nordics is highly regulated and deer numbers are constantly increasing
- This deer came from the deep mixed pine/leaf tree forests around Lindesberg in central Sweden
Pair with a well-balanced wine
- Wild fallow deer meat is rich and full of flavour. Pair it therefore with a fuller wine with strong flavour such as a Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Syrah, Cabernet, Beaujolais Crus, even a fuller bodied Pinot Noir

Do we charge for shipping?
Sending perishable goods like meat is a complicated process. It is very important that the meat is transported under certain conditions and delivered at the right temperature. This requires specialised packaging and as short a shipping time as possible. We ship by air with couriers like UPS and FedEx. For Northern Europe, the shipping time is 12-24 hours from the time your package leaves our facilities. For Southern Europe it's usually 18-48 hours.
We ship to all of the EU and Switzerland. After Brexit, it is unfortunately not feasible for us to serve any customer in the UK.
We ship products on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The courier will inform you of your exact delivery date and time.
We do not ship on Thursdays and Fridays to avoid that the package gets stuck in the courier's warehouse over the weekend.
To cover some of our shipping and packaging costs, we use the following shipping rates:
- Orders up to €100: €19.90 in shipping
- Orders €100 - €150: €9.90 in shipping
- Orders above €150: Free shipping
We only use sustainable packaging
We attach great importance to sustainable packaging. For that reason we do not use polystyrene foam (EPS), styrofoam or other environmentally polluting packaging materials. The packaging used is fully recyclable, biodegradable and / or reusable.
Your meat will be neatly packed in a biodegradable bag together with cooling blocks. These frozen cooling blocks ensure that your products stay at the right temperature. The cooling blocks are filled with salt water. You can cut the blocks open after use and dispose of the water through the sink and recycle the package. You can of course also reuse the cooling blocks at home.
We use sheep wool to insulate our packages and ensure that your meat stays at the right temperature during transportation. Sheep wool is 100% compostable and can be reused for many different purposes. The packaging paper and boxes are made from 100% recycled paper and can be recycled with paper/cardboard.
Meat durability
The shelf life of our products is generally based on the specified best before date ("Bäst före" in Swedish). As with all foodstuffs, the best before date is to be understood as meaning that we guarantee the perfect condition of the goods up to this date if stored appropriately. It does not state that the goods are automatically spoiled after this date.
In principle, the shelf life of meat depends on the temperatures and fluctuations in temperature the meat is exposed to. The higher the storage temperature and the more temperature fluctuations, the shorter the meat will stay in perfect condition. Frozen meat may have a best before date of up to a year printed on the packaging. That date assumes that the meat is kept at -18° C during that whole time. This is of course impossible for us to guarantee when we ship the meat over longer distances using a courier. The meat will most likely arrive to your home at a temperature a few degrees below freezing.
Therefore, after you received your meat, we recommend that you store it in a fridge at maximum 4° C and consume it within five days unless you choose to refreeze it.
In general, if your meat was frozen, we recommend not to re-freeze it. However, basically nothing speaks against refreezing, especially if the food has to be heated up before consumption. The nutrient and vitamin content may suffer slightly, but refreezing is more hygienic than storing it in the refrigerator at temperatures above 0° C.
Our own tests also show that you can assume that the great taste of the meat will not be affected by refreezing. Wild game meat is of such high quality that the theoretical reduction in quality is practically unnoticed.
If you want to cook the meat after its been frozen, it is best to remove it from the freezer 1-2 days in advance and place it in the refrigerator.
In the unlikely event that you have forgotten to take your meat out of the freezer, you can defrost it more quickly in water. Check whether the packaging is still properly vacuumed. If this is the case, you can place the meat, packaging and all, in a container of cold water. This way, a the meat thaws faster. If the packaging is no longer vacuumed, then you can NOT use this method.
Customer Reviews
Fallow Deer Fillet
Great product plus fast delivery equals regular customer.
The meat is tender and tasty, so go simple. Just cook it with some pepper mix, rosemary and thyme. And don't forget a glass of good red wine. I would suggest a Bordeaux
Incredible flavor, slightly spicy and makes a really good tartare.
Ridiculously tasty and lean. A joy to eat !!
