About the cut

Mutton Rack

Known as Carré d'Agneau in French cuisine and butchery textbooks, the rib rack of mutton is cut out at ninety degrees to the spine of the animal, leaving the ribs intact with the prized rib meat attached. The ribs are then French trimmed to leave clean bone at the end of each rib for maximum effect. More commonly simply cut into chops, the rib rack is a favourite of chefs and increasingly in demand.

About the breed

Swaledale

Hill Sheep Grazed On Wild Heather

Tasting notes:
robust, indulgent, herbal
Region:
Yorkshire Dales

The Swaledale is the sheep of the Dales. They adorn the signs for the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and can be seen themselves wandering the wild stretches between the valleys in search of foraging. Ours mature slowly, at their own pace, on the heather that grows on the tops. This gives the meat a sweet as well as robust and almost herbal flavour, with the Swaledale providing some of Yorkshire's most renowned lamb and mutton.
