Free-Range Grass-Fed Lamb Neck Slices from Iceland (200g)
Choose options
Introducing lamb neck meat from the pristine wilderness of Iceland. These bite-size slices come in a 200g (7.0oz) pack and are perfect for yakiniku-style barbecue. Neck meat is unique in a few ways, one of them being the limited quantity that is available per lamb. Also because the neck muscles are used so much, the meat is firm and flavorful, but it also has a great balance of fat to keep the meat juicy. Simply add a dash of sea salt and you're ready for premium flavor. The typical strong aroma of lamb is quite mild for this cut, making it a great choice even for those who don't usually enjoy lamb meat.
Icelandic lamb is characterized by tenderness and mild flavor due to the fine texture of the muscle fibers. The Icelandic sheep breed was brought into Iceland over a thousand years ago, and has remained pure without crossbreeding since. Due to harsh weather conditions, Icelandic lamb can only be produced once a year. They spend their lives in absolute freedom grazing wild grass, herbs, leaves, and other wild nutrients found in pastures, valleys, and mountains. The very definition of free-range.
The animals are gathered in late summer by local farmers and are sorted in one of the country's oldest cultural traditions called Rettir. It goes without saying that animals are never treated with antibiotics or growth hormones. The images shown are actual images of Icelandic lambs!
