Description

Indulge in the extraordinary taste and texture of this Pyrenean milk-fed lamb shoulder from Axuria, a distinguished cooperative founded in 1983 at the heart of the Basque Country. The 280 farmers of the Pyrenees, Axuria stand united by sharing values, pride in their origins, and a commitment to their profession. Focused on promoting local, natural, and humane lamb farming, Axuria meticulously follows century-old traditions in a picturesque landscape nestled between the Pyrenees Mountains and the Basque valleys.

Axuria’s careful breeding involves three distinct lamb breeds—redheaded Manech, black-headed Manech, and Bernaise—perfectly adapted to the Pyrenees mountains. Recognized as a certified Label Rouge brand and holder of the Pyrenees IGP certification, Axuria assures the highest quality standards. Their commitment to antibiotic-free, hormone-free, free-range lamb rearing is reflected in the Label Rouge requirements, ensuring natural grazing on grass and wildflowers. The lambs freely roam the high altitudes during the summer, contributing to the exceptional characteristics of the meat—it’s light color and soft textures distinguish it from other lamb varieties where it melts in the mouth, revealing a sweet, delicate flavours. This unique taste is notably less intense than that of older lambs. For the best showcase of these exquisite flavours, we recommend grilling or roasting this exceptional Pyrenean milk-fed lamb leg – Keep it simple with fresh herbs, salt & pepper.
