The exquisite flavours of merino have, until now, been a well-kept secret held by the guardians of the land on which merino graze. The open spaces, golden tussock-covered slopes and pure air of the merino’s alpine home produce a lean, succulent, fine-grained delicacy.
TASTE
An experience that connects you to the space, stillness and silence of New Zealand’s alpine regions. Merino are characteristically lean and mature slowly, allowing aspects of the high country to naturally influence the flavour of Silere. Silere lamb is well-marbled, succulent, and offers distinctive layers of well developed flavours with subtle fragrant alpine notes and a clean finish on the palate.
Cooked Silere lamb rack’s stunning juiciness and melt-in-the-mouth silken texture is attributed to the gorgeous thin layer of lamb fat coating the cut. Caramelising during cooking gives an agreeable sweetness, a characteristic lamb flavour. An inkling of organic mineral flavour coming from the soil and forage is consistent with living in a natural environment.
Product Attributes
- Made from Merino sheep, often known for their luxurious wool but less well known for their high quality meat
- Merino sheep roam freely in alpine meadows. Because they are roaming on such steep terrain, their muscular distribution differs from sheep you would find on flatter pastures, which has an impact on the meat to fat ratio and the leanness of the meat
- They live on a diet of native forage, such as golden tussock and wild mountain thyme, which has an impact on the flavour of the meat
- They live their lives in harmony with the seasons, maturing slowly, naturally developing their characteristic leanness and the distinctive flavour that comes from their free grazing
- Aged for 14 days
