Cordeiro Mirandês

This meat is taken from lambs of the rare Churra Galega Mirandesa breed of sheep. The meat is pink, tender, and extremely succulent, and its unique flavor is highly prized by gourmets and chefs. The lambs are reared on local pastures, where they feed on local fodder and graze wild in pastures and woodlands.

The meat is used in several traditional local specialities, such as Mirandês lamb stew and barbecued lamb. It is traditionally roasted for Christmas and other special occasions and gatherings.
