Description
Mutton shoulder can be a fantastic alternative to the traditional leg roast and when cooked slowly, with it’s extra fat, makes a tender and tasty dish.
The extra age of mutton shoulder gives it the characteristic flavour. We hang our mutton for two weeks to allow time for the meat to mature.
The Taste Tradition flock is kept on limestone based land, which is free draining and therefore very good ground for raising sheep. The grass from this land is the mainstay of their diet, but in the winter months when this is not as available we provide supplements to ensure the flock receives all the nutrients it requires.

Delicious. Slow cooked, 7 hrs at 150C. Very tasty slices, but still a bit tough. I’d cook it another 2hrs next time. I’d hoped to treat it like ‘pulled pork’ but probably the fatty areas too prominent. We sliced 5mm or into chunks where bony. We then fried the more fatty slices — really delicious, and used the chunks for a super curry ! Bones initially intimidating — ribs and 1/2 spine — but easily removed by cutting round with small pointed knife. Super.

The shoulder of mutton was excellent slow roasted. Much more flavour than lamb and a taste of the past.
