Fjellsau – meat from young sheep
Why should we only eat lamb when meat from young sheep is at least as good?
This was part of the thinking behind Fjellsau. We wanted to make use of a resource that often gets less attention than lamb, and show just how good meat from young sheep can be.
The sheep we have chosen for Fjellsau are young sheep that were to leave the breeding flock. Instead of the meat simply going into ordinary meat production, we wanted to process and sell it ourselves, so that more people can experience how good meat from young sheep is.
The sheep have grazed in Grødalen, where they have had access to large areas of rough grazing throughout the summer. The meat has much the same good flavour as lamb, but with more meat on the bone.
We offer slices of leg and neck, which suit fårikål, stews and slow roasting well. The large cuts also let you divide the meat up to suit the dish you are making.
With Fjellsau we want to show that good mutton deserves a bigger place on the dinner table.
