A UNIQUE RACE

Meet the Merino Sheep

For the consumer, Merino meat has an image of a natural, healthy product with exclusive sensory qualities due to the natural environment in which it is raised and the food available, lacking health risks or fraud in its production.

The Merino is a unique breed that requires special care and protection, not only because it is part of the Spanish genetic heritage, but also because of many other aspects that make it stand out from other breeds.

In any case, the purity of the Merino breed guarantees the best meat for cooking, whether grilled, grilled or barbecued, due not only to the natural way it is produced, but also to its ideal combination of fat and meat. , which gives it a pleasant and unique texture, tenderness, bouquet and flavor.
