Lamb
The lambs covered by this distinction come from breeds included in the official catalog, bred under controlled conditions that favor the production of meat of superior quality.
These lambs can come from the farm where they will also be fattened, in which case it is indicated on the label "herd lamb", or fattened on another farm, in which case it reads "fattening lamb". The feed of the herd lamb will be exclusively of top quality feed, as well as straw and fodder, and breast milk. In the case of fattening lamb, the animal must have entered the farm between four and seven weeks of life, and must have a fattening period of more than 30 days, only with top quality feed. The meat of these lambs is tastier and better resists cooking due to its consistency.

In young animals, it concentrates under the skin and can be easily removed; In contrast, in larger animals, it is found among muscle tissue. Like other meats, it is a good source of good quality protein, vitamins B12 and B2 and minerals such as iron, phosphorus and zinc.
