About this product
Reindeer is Lapland's iconic animal, whose meat is the foundation of Northern Finnish cuisine. Reindeer meat is lean, protein-rich, and high in iron. Reindeer graze freely on the offerings of Lapland's fells and forests, giving the meat its unique flavor. Reindeer herding is the Sami people's millennia-old livelihood.
