Restaurant Cuisine - Icelandic Lamb
Best Lamb in the World

The Icelandic Sheep produces a gourmet quality, light, delicately flavored meat-unquestionably, this lamb meat is unequaled for flavor, health benefits, and versatility. Some of the highest quality restaurants in the country are offering Icelandic lamb on their menus.

This gourmet meat is very tender with a mild flavor and can appeal to the palate of even those consumers who avow they "just don't like lamb." Unlike more modern breeds, Icelandic lamb has none of the "gamey" aftertaste that discourages some people from eating lamb chops.

The meat is award-winning in the European market where a lean gourmet style carcass of fine textured, light colored and mild flavored meat is preferred. The meat conformation is excellent and the carcass dresses out at a higher percentage than other types of sheep, which makes them very desirable to chefs.
