New Zealand lamb is loved around the world for its clean flavor, tenderness, and naturally rich taste. These lamb chops are cut from young, grass-fed lambs raised free-range on open pasture year-round in New Zealand. They are raised without growth-promoting hormones or the subtherapeutic use of antibiotics.
Our quality lamb chops come only from family-owned and operated farms and ranches in New Zealand, where ethical animal raising has long been part of the local farming culture. The result is beautifully tender, juicy lamb with a bright color, mild aroma, and full, satisfying flavor without an overpowering lamb smell.
Each pack contains 4 small lamb chops, also known as cutlets, trimmed, cut, and ready to cook. They are simple to prepare, quick to cook, and look beautiful on the plate. Pan-sear or grill them with sea salt, black pepper, garlic, rosemary, or your favorite herbs for an easy meal that feels a little special.

Lamb Chops Recipe Instructions
Completely defrost the chops in the fridge overnight or in cold water within a few hours. Open the pack and pat dry with a paper towel. Allow the chops to breathe for a few minutes.
Season with olive oil, freshly ground coarse (!) black pepper and coarse (!) sea salt. That's it. For the best taste experience do not add sauces or "ready spice mixes" - this quality lamb tastes incredibly good the way it is.
Preheat the fry-pan or skillet to medium-high heat - you need to hear it sizzle. The lamb chops are very small and cook very fast. Keep turning them.
Make sure the outer layer is crispy brown and caramelized. Take off the heat once firm to the touch. You can't really go wrong with overcooking the lamb chops.
We are great fans of the natural taste of quality products and will always recommend avoiding heavy sauces and spice mixes. Try our lamb just like this - you'll love it. If you had a bad experience with lamb in the past - give our quality lamb a chance.
Lamb chops taste best eaten by hand. Juicy, tender and flavorful New Zealand quality lamb. Enjoy
