Maui Nui

Maui Nui is a Hawaiʻi-based company with a mission to restore balance to the islands by responsibly managing the population of invasive axis deer. Through an innovative and humane field-harvest process, Maui Nui transforms this ecological challenge into a sustainable, nutrient-rich food source. Every deer is 100% wild and free-ranging, feeding on a natural diet until the moment of harvest, resulting in exceptionally lean, flavorful venison that is naturally high in protein, iron, and essential nutrients.

Rooted in the Hawaiian values of stewardship and balance, Maui Nui is committed to strengthening Hawaiʻi's environment, communities, and local food systems. Their work helps protect native ecosystems and agricultural lands while providing a premium, ethically sourced protein that supports a more resilient future for the islands. By choosing Maui Nui, customers are not only enjoying one of the world's most nutrient-dense meats but also supporting a mission that gives back to Hawaiʻi's people and natural resources.

Shipping Chocolate & Heat-Sensitive Items

Our chocolate-covered macadamia nuts and other chocolate gifts are made with real chocolate, which can soften or melt when exposed to warm temperatures during transit. Please read the following before placing your order.

Warm-Weather & Seasonal Considerations

During warmer months — typically May through September — and year-round when shipping to warm-weather destinations (including the Southern U.S., Southwest, Hawaii, and international tropical climates), packages may experience elevated temperatures inside delivery vehicles, postal facilities, and mailboxes. This is a normal part of shipping perishable food items and is outside our control once a package leaves our facility.

Transit Risk

While we pack our chocolate items with care, we cannot guarantee a specific temperature inside your package during transit. Chocolate that has softened or bloomed during shipping is still safe to eat, though the texture and appearance may be affected.

Packaging Precautions

We recommend selecting a faster shipping service at checkout to reduce the time your order spends in transit during warm weather. If you are sending a gift to a recipient in a warm-weather region, consider timing your order to arrive when someone will be home to receive it promptly.

If Your Chocolate Arrives Soft or Melted

If your order arrives soft, please refrigerate or place in a cool area immediately. The chocolate will typically re-set as it cools and is safe to enjoy. If the product arrived in an unsatisfactory condition beyond softening — such as a broken seal, spilled contents, or visible spoilage — please contact us at info@mekealohagifts.com with a photo and your order number, and we will review your case individually.

You’ll love this Hawai‘i-made venison stick for its unique balance of flavor and nutrition. The fruity kick of Hawaiian chili pepper develops into a satisfying warmth, while the slow fermentation and real wood smoking create a tender, flavorful bite unlike traditional meat sticks. With 10 grams of protein and only 60 calories per stick, it's the perfect high-protein snack for hiking, travel, workdays, or whenever you need clean, satisfying fuel.
