Provenance Lamb(Bio-Farmed)
CREATING THE EXCEPTIONAL
We go to great lengths creating an exceptional product – bio-farmed, ethically raised, meticulously processed – our lamb is our pride and joy.
Exporting directly to restauranteurs, chefs and fine meat purveyors around the globe, we also sell domestically to select clients.
Provenance lamb’s delicate flavour stands apart from traditionally ‘gamier’ New Zealand fare. A subtle sweetness complimented by ‘nutty’ (some say herbaceous) undertones, speaks of the unique terroir from which the lamb grows.
This distinctive taste is enhanced through sensational mouth feel. Silky smooth texture and fine marbling deliver wonderfully succulent, tender meat, with a clean finish on the palate.
HEALTHY CHOICE – QUALITY
Consumers are increasingly conscious of the health benefits of eating well. Provenance lamb is the healthy choice for chefs who are looking to gain the edge in their red meat offering.
Nutritional value, omega and pH levels, colour, texture and other indicators of healthy meat are all carefully monitored through randomized, independent testing.
Our lamb is guaranteed GMO, hormone and antibiotic free, and contains no artificial ingredients or colouring.
Additionally, we age our meat by holding it in a controlled, chilled state for 21 days after processing. This is a proven tenderising method. No mechanical or electrical tenderising is used.
Likewise, freezing* is a proven method for safely storing and transporting meat without damaging tissue integrity. Alternatively, in season, we can ship to you fresh while ageing in transit.
BIO-FARMED – ETHICALLY RAISED
Consumers and forward thinking chefs are also interested in the ethics of food production – land and water use, the quality of life for animals. Our lambs live well because they are fed well and cared for at each stage of their life.Almost all New Zealand sheep are grass fed but it is the nutritional value of the pasture that makes the difference.
It all starts in the soil. Our comprehensive farming protocols ensure the biological life of the soil is replenished. Sustainable land use is helped by natural inputs, minimal use of fertilizers and careful grazing. Living soil grows nourishing forage. The result is exceptionally healthy animals.
More than feeding our lambs well, we look after them humanely and with respect.
Our lambs are especially selected to thrive in their environment.
