Vadehavslam

Vadehavslam, or Wadden Sea lamb is fresh lamb meat from the animals of the Texel breed, born and reared in the Wadden Sea region of south-west Denmark. The lambs are quite large (19-25 kilos when slaughtered), meaty, and feed on the grass from the salt meadows where they graze in the winter, along with maize silage, and hay supplemented with barley.

They feed on the salt meadows for at least four and a half months per year. Their meat is lean and flavorful, with a distinctively unique, salty taste due to the high potassium and sodium content in the grass. It is a product with a great reputation, and it is even described in the tourist brochures of the Wadden Sea national park as an important part of the region's heritage.

For a real gourmet dish enjoy the Wadden Sea lamb meat with Mediterranean vegetables and herbs, polenta and mint.
