Should i get two or more of them, or should i save room in the freeze in case I get a deer, even in spite of my woefully poor deer hunting skills...? that is the question

No problems that I can detect. Maybe I should go to a real butcher and see how it compares, except there hasn’t been one around in a very long time.

I'm fine with the flavor, pretty strong actually, well priced, and this quantity lasts long. Ideally, would be good to have another more moderate version to use in cooking, then EVOO for salads and garnish. The flavor of this one really shines.
