Borrego da Beira

Beira lambs are cross-bred from the Churra do Campo, Mondegueira, and Merino do Beira Baixa breeds. Beira lamb has a light pink color, a unique milky aroma, and a smooth and tender texture and consistency.

This type of lamb is often slow-roasted, seasoned only lightly with salt, garlic, and olive oil. It is also used in traditional Portuguese dishes such as Canja de borrego and Caldeirada do finger, and it plays a special role in the preparation of traditional Maranhos sausages.
