Borrego do Nordeste Alentejano

This lamb comes from Merino sheep crossbreeds raised in the municipality of Portalegre. Sheep have been raised in this region for centuries, and they are used to produce both meat and wool. They are mostly fed on crop cuttings, wild herbs, and grasses. Nordeste Alentejano lamb has a unique flavor and a succulent, juicy consistency.

It is characterized by its low fat content, which gives it a light yet complex flavor. This meat is an essential ingredient in traditional regional Portuguese dishes, but it is most often eaten simply roasted together with potatoes.
