Agnello del Centro Italia

Central Italian lambs come from the local Apennine sheep breeds, historically present in this area. Thanks to a special genetic heritage, the meat quality of these lambs is much higher compared to other breeds of the same age. The animals are born and raised in the regions of Abruzzo, Lazio, Marche, Tuscany, Umbria, and the hills and mountains of Emilia-Romagna.

Lambs of Central Italy are breastfed, then weaned and further food consists of locally grown hay, fodder and wild plants, with small additions of grains when needed. The animals are slaughtered about 50 to 130 days after birth. Agnello del Centro Italia is highly prized by breeders because of its high carcass yield and rapid weight gain.
