The Sicilian Castrated Lamb is a traditional product of Sicilian sheep farming. The lambs born and raised exclusively by mothers of native Sicilian breeds, are raised until about 10-12 months of age, and are characterized by rapid weight gain, because sexual neutralization (castration) was practiced early. One of the main characteristics of the Sicilian Castrated Lamb, in fact, is that of being able to have a carcass weighing more than 20 kg (up to about 30 - 35 kg), with a variable fat covering from medium to abundant, and whose meat is particularly delicious, thanks to the diet based on excellent quality pastures and high biodiversity made up of numerous pasture essences.

Product Details

Our lambs are raised on pasture in a period that goes from March to October, when the weather conditions are favorable, while in the remaining periods they are fed with hay and cereals. Their diet, therefore, is based on grass and hay from the uncontaminated pastures of the Sicilian hinterland between the hills of the Valle del Torto and the low Madonie, in an area between the municipalities of Alia, Castronovo di Sicilia and Valledolmo. This meat is made even more tender and tasty thanks to the aging (minimum 5 days), a natural process during which the meat rests and matures in cold storage at controlled temperature and humidity, becoming softer and juicier thanks to a series of positive reactions in the muscle structure.
