unusual meats for your own enjoyment, nutritional benefits, or for something
different at your next dinner party. Meats such as buffalo, venison, and rabbit
are already popular in Oregon and most of our exotic meats are raised here in
Oregon. Other unusual meats such as ostrich, emu, veal, seasonal venison and
elk, Guinea Foul, quail, and poussin are becoming better known as they are
being purchased with increasing frequency from our new freezer at our Eugene
store. Muscovy Duck is usually
fresh in our poultry section.
Pork
Fermín Ibérico de Bellota Pork is a world-class food
product—some consider it to be one of the four must-have items that transcend
cuisine, along with foie gras, caviar and truffles. We are proud have a
supplier who is the leading distributor of uncured Fermín in the Pacific
Northwest, as well as carrying the cured line upon which the Fermín reputation
is built.
Salamanca region in Spain. Fermín goes even further than its
competitors—by guaranteeing that every pig they raise is genetically 100%
Ibérico. This ensures the authenticity of their end-product and the
flavor that comes with it. Fermín pork is a deep shade of red in
color—nearing the color of beef. The fat that builds during the fattening
period, or montañera, creates the most tender and tastiest cuts possible.
chef. Because of the genetics of the Ibérico breed and the artisanal
process in the Fermín cutting room we are able to offer rare cuts that don’t
exist within the United States. Furthermore, because each pig is
individually tested for trichinosis, chefs can use raw and semi-raw
applications with this special pork.
Emu

of meat. For this reason Emu has been a super food for athletes for
years. The lean nature of emu makes cooking it a challenge—albeit one that
any home chef or professional chef is up to as long as they understand that it

the delicious flavor. We consider it a lovely blend of duck and
beef. Emu has the richness of red-meat with the health benefits of a
poultry product. The Premium Loin cuts are tasty with a quick grilling and
the round cut is better slow-cooked at a low heat in the oven with a tasty
braising liquid. Emu readily takes to whatever flavor or cuisine you
prefer—we like it medium rare, and rested, with a huckleberry and pepper sauce!
Seasonal
Elk – September-October
One of the highlights of our busy autumn season is the arrival of Roosevelt
elk. These animals are the biggest elk on the continent of North America.
The males are just under 1000 lbs and have been known to grow as big as
1,300 lbs in the Alaskan wild. They are raised free range on Western
Oregon farms, where they can freely roam the hills and streams that dominate
our landscape. This peaceful life, along with the natural terrain they
are used to, make Roosevelt one of the richest, yet leanest proteins we offer.
It is a highly sought after animal, so be sure to call us in advance and
reserve an order based on availability.
Ostrich
Ostrichis currently
raised for its rich meat in Southern Hemisphere countries like Austrailia and
New Zealand. Ostrich contains 90% less fat than beef, yet it retains the
succulent, red-meat flavor that diners love. Ostrich also shrinks less
than other types of red-meat which makes it ideal for controlling food cost,
and the perfect meat for hamburgers and steaks.
Due to the limited
availability or seasonality of some of these meats, we encourage you to order
about a week in advance. We have provided a few
links below from our vendor, Nicky USA for a number of recipes including
nutritional information that will add a special gourmet touch to any meal.
