Bear fillet
The bear fillet is the most exclusive and unusual game detail we can offer. Bear meat has a wonderfully strong game flavour and the fillet is the finest part of the bear. This is a game detail for someone who wants to offer something really special from the Swedish forests.
The bear comes from Sweden, of course, and the meat is tested for trichinosis at a certified Swedish game processing plant.
The bear is a real omnivore and the flavour of the bear meat often depends a lot on what it has eaten during the year. It is said that bear meat tastes best when the diet consists largely of berries and therefore the meat should be at its best during a good blueberry year.
The brown bear is characterised by its large head, small eyes and a thick coat that varies from light brown to dark brown. An adult Swedish bear can reach an impressive length of almost 3 metres and a height at the withers of 150 centimetres. A male can weigh over 300 kg and a female 200 kg.
The bear was almost extinct in Sweden in the early 1900s, but is now protected and has recovered to a viable and stable population of almost 3,000 animals. It is generally found from Dalarna and Gävleborg counties northwards.
The hunting season is between 21 August and 15 October, but ends earlier if the year's maximum allocation has already been reached.
We think the bear fillet is best cooked whole in the oven or as tournedos that you can fry in a hot pan or on direct heat on the grill. In this case, cut them into thick slices (3-4 cm). Salt before and pepper after. For tips on cooking in the oven, we can recommend our recipe for game meat in the oven.
Origin: Sweden. Our bear comes from Dalarna and Norrbotten.

Delivery time
We ship to all of the EU, Switzerland, Norway and the UK within 1-3 business days. We send your products in our in-house designed well-cooled and insulated packages and we guarantee the cold chain all the way to your home. We ship by air with couriers like UPS, DHL and FedEx.
We will prepare your package almost immediately after you place your order. Your package then leaves our facility on regular Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We do not ship on Thursdays or Fridays to avoid that the package gets stuck in the courier's warehouse over the weekend.
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. This applies to orders placed on weekdays before 11 a.m. Some delays may occur, but 97% of our deliveries arrive on time without a problem.
The exact delivery time may therefore vary a bit depending on when you placed your order. If you order on Mon-Wed before 11 a.m, then you will very likely receive your package the day after (1 working day). If you for instead order on a Wednesday afternoon, then you will most likely receive your package on Tuesday or Wednesday the week after, i.e. around 5 working days later.
The courier will inform you of your exact delivery date and time.

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.
