Lamb shanks offer great flavor but must be cooked low and slow to become tender. They are especially wonderful braised.
Merino sheep are prized for their lean, mild-flavored meat. Lambs are weaned at about 6 weeks then moved to farms where they are raised to the highest EU standards of animal welfare. A controlled diet of dry cereals, including wheat, corn and soy, produces pink coloring, enhanced tenderness, and mild flavor. The lambs reach optimal weight for harvesting at 3-5 months, younger than most lamb produced in other countries.
