Attention US-Based chefs, cooks, and culinary professionals: Get ready to experience a taste of New Zealand in our new Venison cooking contest! Register below for a chance to receive a free sample of Denver Leg, then show us how you can transform this amazing product into a prize-winning dish!

Venison has grown in popularity in the last decade, but in this contest, we’re featuring an underutilized cut, the Denver Leg. Venison leg meat is often ignored by cooks because of the belief that it’s tougher than other cuts. However, this only applies to wild game. Farm raised meat is tender, richly flavored, and shines in culinary applications!
