Lechazo de Castilla y León

Lechazo de Castilla y León is the meat of the lambs of the Churro, Castellano and Ojalado breeds produced in the Autonomous Community of Castilla y Leon. This meat is very tender, succulent and smooth in texture.


It is white to light pink in color and has a very mellow and delicate flavor. The lambs must weigh between 9 to 12 kgs at the time of slaughter and can be up to 35 days old. Lechazo de Castilla y León are breastfed up to the time they are slaughtered so that the meat remains tender and flavorful.


The meat is thus very low in fat but is still very aromatic.
