The pillars ou

- Uncompromising Quality- Meat of the highest quality, without question, that we will stand behind 100%.

- Authentic Provenance - A story of provenance that is truly authentic, as a result of our partnerships with a small selection of the country's most exceptional farmers, for whom love and care for their land and animals is their driving priority.

- Distinctive Offerings - Points of difference from other meat brands available in New Zealand. Our offering is based on the authentic replication of the beef found in Europe, which has inspired us to create our Heritage Vintage Beef and Heritage Regenerative Beef (available mid-2025).

If it’s steak night, picanha is one of Huw’s cuts of choice!

It’s the perfect balance of tenderness and flavour and that generous fat cap is the secret to cooking it well.

Pat the steak dry, season generously with salt, then start with the fat cap down over a medium heat. Give it time to render and develop a beautiful golden, crispy crust.

Once the fat has rendered, turn up the heat and cook the steak in its own delicious beef fat. Turn it every minute to build a caramelised crust and help it cook evenly.

This cut is all about flavour. Millions of Brazilians can’t be wrong!🇧🇷

So very sad to hear of the passing of David Trewavas overnight.

David was a customer, who I am proud to say became a friend to us all here at Heritage meat.

David had an infectious enthusiasm, energy, positivity, and lust for life, and a burning passion for Taupo, the wider district, and all of its residents.

His life in ‘retirement’ has been cut way too short.

Our deepest sympathies to Anna and all of the family, he will be deeply missed by many.

Rest easy mate.

⏰A small winter hours update from us.❄

With these cold, wet weekends, we’ve decided hunkering down by the fire on a Sunday sounds like a pretty good idea.

So for the rest of winter, Heritage Meat will be closed on Sundays. We’ll review this again in spring.

We’re still open on Saturdays from 9am to 3pm, and we’d love to see your lovely faces then.

There are also a few exciting things happening behind the scenes, including new team members and some business projects we can’t wait to share soon. Have a great rest of the weekend!
