Ryeland Shearling Mutton Box – Mount Grace Farm Selection

This mutton box features premium cuts from a Ryeland shearling, reared on Mount Grace Farm in North Yorkshire.

Known for their excellent fat cover and rich flavour, Ryeland sheep are a heritage breed, celebrated for producing tender and well-marbled meat. The ideal balance of fat adds depth to slow-cooked dishes and enhances the texture of quicker-cooked cuts.

In this box, you’ll receive:

  • 1 Bone-in Half Leg Joint: Perfect for slow roasting, offering succulent, flavour-rich meat.
  • 1 Bone-in Half Shoulder Joint: Ideal for a long, slow cook, this cut is packed with flavour.
  • 3 Loin Chops: Tender and juicy, these are perfect for grilling or pan-frying for a quick meal.
  • 1 Rib Rack (4 bones): Roasted or cut it into cutlets.
  • 1 Rolled Breast Portion: A beautifully fatty and flavourful cut, ideal for slow roasting or braising.
  • We’ll also add a share of the diced or minced trim to the box.

With its distinctive fat cover, this mutton is ideal for slow cooking, allowing the rich flavours to develop fully. Enjoy the true taste of North Yorkshire with every bite.

Ryeland Shearling Mutton is a true gem for those who appreciate premium-quality, traditional meat with a rich heritage.

Ryeland sheep, one of the oldest British breeds, are known for their tender and mild-flavoured meat. The term “shearling” refers to lamb that is between one and two years old, a stage where the meat has developed a deeper, fuller taste without being as strong as older mutton. This makes Ryeland Shearling mutton a wonderful choice for those who enjoy the richness of mutton but prefer a more subtle, delicate taste.

Reared on the pastures of Mount Grace Farm in North Yorkshire, these Ryeland sheep are grass-fed and raised in a way that respects the animal’s natural growth cycle. The high welfare standards and natural environment these animals enjoy contribute to the exceptional quality of the meat.

Key Features:

  • Tender Meat: Shearling mutton is incredibly tender, thanks to the age of the animal. It has just the right amount of marbling, which helps keep the meat juicy during cooking.
  • Subtle Taste: Unlike older mutton, shearling mutton has a more refined taste. It still offers that depth of flavour but without the overpowering intensity sometimes associated with mutton.
  • Versatile: Whether slow-cooked for a hearty stew or roasted with herbs, Ryeland Shearling mutton is versatile and works well in a variety of dishes.

Cooking Tips:

  • Slow Roasting: A slow roast with garlic, rosemary, and root vegetables brings out the best in shearling mutton. It allows the meat to cook evenly while retaining its moisture and becoming meltingly tender.
  • Braising: Braising is a fantastic method for this cut. The longer cooking time, combined with rich stock or wine, will enhance its natural flavour and ensure it’s beautifully soft.

Nutritional Information:

Mutton, including shearling, is packed with nutrients. It’s a great source of protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. As it’s grass-fed, you’ll also benefit from higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health.

For those looking to enjoy traditional meat with a slightly more sophisticated taste, Ryeland Shearling mutton offers the perfect balance of tenderness and flavour. It’s a real treat for anyone who values high-quality, well-reared meat from North Yorkshire’s finest farms.

Delivery is free on orders over £50.
