Arnaki Elassonas

These lambs are born of ewes of indigenous Greek breeds, and are fed exclusively on their mother's milk. The antioxidants in the aromatic plants the sheep graze on give the ewe’s milk and, consequently, the lamb’s meat a distinctive flavor that makes it very popular among gourmets.

The meat comes from lambs that are 30 to 45 days old and weigh between 6.5 and 10.5 kilos, and it is sold fresh exclusively. The meat is white to light pink in color, and it has a very pleasant smell and taste. It is tender and juicy with high levels of linolenic acid.

This lamb is also known for its very low fat content of only 1.5%, in comparison to lambs from other regions. Arnaki Elassonas can be either grilled or cooked with local herbs or prepared following a traditional Elassona lamb fricassee recipe.
