Prés-salés du Mont-Saint-Michel

Prés-salés du Mont-Saint-Michel is fresh meat from lambs slaughtered before they are 12 months old, born, reared and slaughtered in the French regions of Manche and Ille et Vilaine. This meat is unique due to the fact that the lambs feed on maritime pastures and seaweed from the salt marshes that are prevalent in the region.

As a result, the carcasses are slim, the fat is evenly spread, white and firm and the meat is pink, well marbled and juicy after it is cooked. When eaten, it results in a strong, long-lasting flavor that lingers in the mouth. The meat must mature on the bone for at least 4 days before being sold to consumers when it can be roasted or grilled and enjoyed with garlic sauce and potatoes.
