mature lamb meat sales
We now have available traditionally and naturally reared hill bred mature lamb from the uplands of Northumberland. Mature lamb is meat from hill breed sheep, such as the Blackface, Swaledale and Cheviot Shearlings and only sheep aged between 18 and 24 months of age are selected, to produce a unique taste experience.
Mature lamb has a greater depth of flavour than lamb, which is normally defined as meat from an animal before its first teeth have started to erupt (usually at 12 months), however it is also younger than mutton, which is generally classed as meat from a sheep that is more than two years old.
Mature lamb retains all the tenderness of lamb, but has more flavour and much greater versatility, lending itself to both fast and slow cooking methods.
Customer feedback has been enthusiastic to say the least!
