Cordero Manchego

Cordero Manchego is a lamb born and pastured in the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo. These lambs are sixty to ninety days old and must weigh between 22 to 28 kilograms at the time of slaughter. Bred and raised in a way that ensures that the meat as a final product is of exceptional quality, the animals graze freely pasturing on the green meadows and mountains eating wild grasses and herbs that give their meat a characteristic aroma.


During the winter months or when green pasture is unavailable, their nutrition is supplemented with a small portion of straw and grains. The meat of Cordero Manchego is bright pink, and in spite of its low fat content, very juicy and succulent.
