More about Lambs

    T he lamb meat is a source of animal proteins balanced in indispensable amino acids and is characterised by a significant provision of iron, zinc and vitamins, in particular B12 and PP.
Lipids : there are some cuts which have a moderate content in lipids (like the leg, 9 %), however, the lamb is an energising meat with a value of 15%.
Please pay attention to this fact : Before saying that the lamb is too fat, we have to make some comparisons :
- Take a portion of 100 g saddle of roast lamb which has a lipid content of 16 g. It has no more lipids than 70 g brioche, 60 g cheese crackers, 60 g chouquettes, 40 g butter puff pastry...If you serve it with green beans, flageolets, semolina, chickpeas ....., your farm lamb of Quercy will enhance your meals greatly.

Selected pieces

Do you know that the rear leg of the lamb, le gigot, got its name from the famous cook , Taillevent?
He gave this name to this meat because it has the form of a gigue, a musical instrument which looks like a mandoline.
- Synonymous with haunch, the jig in turn refers to the leg of a kid or a deer.
