Pure Suffolk lamb

Pure Suffolk lamb is a new super premium lamb grown in Australia

 

Pure Suffolk Lamb™ a new super premium lamb grown in Australia.

Grown from the distinctive black faced suffolk breed of sheep it has an amazing depth of flavour which combines so well with the modest amount of tiny marbling flecks present in the meat.

Pure Suffolk Lamb is derived from a 100% meat sheep with no wool breeds such as merino or corriedale in it's breeding. This results in a far higher meat quality in terms of meat grain, texture, marbling and overall flavour

Another unique attribute of the pure bred black faced suffolk is it's size. While a standard lamb in Australia weighs approximately 45kg at 7months old the Purebred Suffolk weighs closer to 65kg at the same age. This increased size gives rise to lamb loin chops that could only be described as Lamb T Bones due to their size being 50% bigger than a conventional lamb chop.

Pure Suffolk Lamb is in limited supply with the Gunner family in the process of reversing a steady decline in the breeds numbers since 1984. The Suffolk breed had dropped in numbers by 75% in the past 20 years to the point where it was rapidly approaching the point at which it would of been classed as "At Risk" by the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia. Fortunately the development of Pure Suffolk Lamb has arrested that slide and provides a tangible example of how to save a breed from becoming "rare"

Pure Suffolk Lamb features on an episode of ABC TV's Cook and the Chef (26th March 2008.
