Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where does Zamora source its meat from?
We prioritize sourcing our meat from reputable New Zealand producers, purchasing as much as possible locally to support our community and ensure high quality. However, from time to time, when the demand for pork meat in New Zealand exceeds local supply, we may need to access imported meat to meet customer needs. Rest assured, we select all our sources carefully to uphold the standards of quality, ethical farming, and sustainability that our brand is built on.
2. Are your products gluten-free and preservative-free?
Yes, all our sausages and cured meats are gluten-free, making them suitable for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. We strive to avoid preservatives and additives where possible. When preservatives or additives are necessary, they are clearly listed on the packaging so you know exactly what you're consuming.
3. Are your products free-range or farmed?
All our beef and lamb products are 100% free-range, raised in open environments that promote natural behaviors. Our pork products are free-farmed, meaning they are raised in humane conditions with outdoor access. We believe in supporting ethical farming and animal welfare.
4. What is the shelf life of your products, and can I freeze them?
Each product comes with its own best before date, which is clearly marked on the packaging. To maintain freshness, we recommend keeping sausages refrigerated and using them before the expiry date. All our sausage products can be frozen for longer storage. Once frozen, they should remain frozen until used. After defrosting, please do not re-freeze unless the product has been cooked thoroughly to ensure safety.
5. How should I cook your sausages?
Our sausages are versatile and easy to cook. They can be grilled, pan-fried, baked, or cooked on the barbecue. For best results, cook until they are thoroughly heated and browned on the outside. Always ensure sausages are cooked to an internal temperature of at least 75°C (165°F) for safety.
6. Are your sausages suitable for people with dietary restrictions?
Our products are gluten-free and free from preservatives, making them suitable for many dietary needs. However, they are not specifically labeled as vegan or vegetarian. If you have specific allergies or dietary restrictions, please check the ingredients list on each product or contact us for detailed information.
7. Do you offer any gluten-free or allergen-specific options?
Yes, all our sausages and cured meats are gluten-free. We also take care to avoid common allergens and clearly list ingredients. If you have specific allergy concerns, please read the packaging carefully or reach out to us for detailed allergen information.
8. Can I order your products online or find them in stores?
Currently, we do not offer online ordering directly for end customers, but we do provide a dedicated ordering platform via Upstock for our wholesale customers. We are also excited to announce that we will be launching an online ordering option for select products for end customers soon. In the "Find Us" section of our website, you can see a list of selected stores where you can purchase our products.
