Wild Boar is slightly sweet and nutty from its diet of foraged nuts and other foods from the forest. The tenderloin comes from the back of the boar, running from the shoulder to the leg. Because the boar does not use these muscles very often, the meat in wild boar tenderloins is very tender.
Wild Boar meat is leaner than domestic pork and can be easily substituted for pork in any recipe. Although similar to domestic pork and farm-raised Wild Boar, wild Wild Boar has a deeper color, leaner texture, tighter grain, and bolder taste. Unlike most Wild Boar on the market today, ours isn’t farm-raised—it’s truly wild, trapped in the Texas Hill Country.
This wild boar is all-natural, with no growth hormones or antibiotics. They are humanely treated during and after capture.
Origin: Texas
Applications: Whole wild boar tenderloins can be smoked, grilled, pan-roasted, and ground. They can be cooked whole or sliced into individual portions. The slightly sweet flavor of wild boar pairs well with rich, fruity flavors like red wine, prunes, brandy, and apples. Herbs and spices frequently used with wild boar include rosemary, thyme, and the always game meat friendly juniper berries.
Recommended Cooking Temps: The USDA recommends that all wild-caught game be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
How to Store & Share: Keep wild boar tenderloins frozen until you're ready to use them, then use both tenderloins within the package rather than refreezing one. For thawing tips, read Safely Defrosting Food for Maximum Flavor. The packaging of these boar tenderloins in smaller amounts within the case makes it easy to split the case with friends and family.
Specifications: Each wild boar tenderloin weighs a little under a pound and there are 10-12 frozen tenderloins per box. Each box is approximately 14 lbs.
