Axuria Lamb from the Pyrenees 🥩

At Smith and Brock, we are constantly searching for high-quality goods, therefore we are delighted to be working with Axuria and their young lamb from the Pyrenees. Since its creation in 1983, Axuria has specialised in lamb, and the milk-fed lamb from the Pyrenees is the only milk-fed lamb in France to hold both an IGP and a Label rouge.

Both the Label Rouge and IGP Pyrénées certifications ensure the quality and traceability that are unique to the local expertise. This is what adds to the meat's reputation of being lean, tender and low in calories.

MILK-FED LAMBS

The Basco béarnaise, Manech with red head, and Manech with black head are the ancient breeds from which the Pyrenees' suckling lambs are sprung.

The breed was created on a single farm, where it was born and nurtured. It only consumes its mother's milk by sucking at the udder, giving it a distinctive flavour.

FAMILY FARMING

The Basque Country and Bearn are where all of their breeders are situated. The ewes travel to the upper Pyrenean mountain pastures from mid-June to September to take advantage of the plentiful pastures. Through the preservation of regional breeds and pastoralism, Axuria also supports a family agricultural paradigm that is connected to its landscape and its history.

Easter is a holiday of feasting and lamb is often the go-to meat, we now supply Axuria milkmain cuts - shoulders, culottes, racks and saddles, along with whole milk-fed lambs. Offals (sweetbread, kidneys etc) are also available separately. To ensure freshness and better shelf life, all goods are vacuum packed but can also be sent loose on request.
