Paška janjetina

Paška janjetina is the meat of local lambs historically bred and pastured on the island of Pag. These lambs must weigh from 4 to 10 kilograms at the time of slaughter and they must not be more than 45 days old. The lambs are slaughtered mostly between January and March while they are still milk-fed.


This meat is exceptionally tender and juicy with a very mellow taste. Flavorful wild herbs, such as rosemary and sage, that grow on the island give this meat a distinctive flavor and character. Lamb from Pag is one of the most famous Croatian dishes and is traditionally grilled or roasted, served with a side of potatoes.
