Sheep meat

Sheep meat is an alternative term for mutton, the meat of adult sheep (lamb denotes young animals). It has a distinctive, rich flavour that strengthens with the animal’s age. Nutritionally it provides high-quality protein, iron, and B vitamins. Proper ageing, butchery, and cooking, low and slow for tougher cuts, bring out its best. It is a staple red meat in many cuisines, from roasts to curries. Slow cooking transforms tougher cuts beautifully. It is comfort food at its finest. Age brings depth to its flavour.
