Baréges-Gavarnie

Baréges-Gavarnie is fresh meat from adult sheep born, reared and slaughtered in the mountainous French region of Hautes-Pyrénées. There are two products - the doublon, a castrated male that has spent at least two summers in the pastures, and the young ewe, aged between 2 and 6 years.

The sheep have thick wool and dense bones so they can withstand the harsh climate and find food even in the hard-to-access landscape. The meat is well marbled without any excessive fat, aromatic, and tender with an aftertaste of Alpine herbs. It is strikingly bright red, tender and succulent. Try it roasted as cutlets with olive oil, creamed potatoes and vegetables such as onions, carrots and courgettes.
