COOTAMUNDRA LAMB

It has won twenty Royal Sydney Fine Food Awards since its launch in November 2009, and is currently Grass Fed MSA Lamb Champion and Grain Fed MSA Lamb Champion. These awards, plus an earnest and ongoing commitment to excellence, have won Cootamundra Lamb’s director his nomination for the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW’s 2011 President’s Medal.

What makes Cootamundra Lamb remarkable? Cootamundra lambs are raised on volcanic red loam enriched alfalfa grasslands in a region of natural abundance nourished by the pods of native acacia bailyana, or Cootamundra wattle. Nature is supported, not overthrown, by the fourth generation farming family watching over it.

Only exceptional Poll Dorset-cross lambs are chosen and artisanal attention to detail adds finesse to the superb animals produced without chemicals. The meat is nutrient dense with distinctive clean lamb flavours, enduring moistness and a uniquely creamy fat in optimal ratio.

Knowing what an animal needs to thrive healthfully, when, and how to deliver it naturally comes with the kind of hands on experience these growers have accumulated over very many years. Every stage is carefully overseen by a family member, including the abattoir processes and delivery to Terry Wrights.
