WHAT IS MILK-FED LAMB? At Basco, we only sell traditional Cordero Lechal. Milk-fed lamb, called in Spain Lechazo or 'Cordero Lechal is a young lamb still at their milk feeding stage usually with 35 days of age before slaughter and 9 to 12 kg in real weight. Here at Basco, we believe that the lives our milk-fed lamb's are of the utmost importance, from how they are reared on the farm, right through to being on your plate! HOW TO COOK YOUR MILK-FED LAMB? Traditionally, milk-fed lamb is roasted in a wood-fired oven with salt, oil and a touch of water to allow this prime cut to speak for itself and amaze the most discerning palate. The result is an incredibly soft textured meat, crispy golden skin that is creamy in texture, melting in the mouth with some light gamey notes. Our milk-fed lamb quarter is perfect for all occasions whether it is a Sunday lunch, during Easter or for a summer barbecue. Why not be inspired and try cooking this authentic Spanish recipe, found on our Spanish recipes page. HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY MILK-FED LAMB QUARTER? You will receive one frozen vac-pac quarter of milk-fed lamb delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the lamb straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking. PLEASE NOTE THAT WEIGHTS CAN VARY FROM LAMB QUARTER TO LAMB QUARTER, SO EXPECT A SLIGHT VARIATION ON THE THE WEIGHT OF YOUR MILK-FED LAMB.

This is, quite simply, the best lamb I have ever eaten. As usual with Basco the service was excellent and the meat arrived in perfect condition. I roasted it as per Basco's own recipe and we ate the left-overs in a hot-pot. An extra treat was that the quarter included a kidney nestled in its own fat. Delicious! I will be buying it again very soon!

It was delicious! I slapped it on the barbie for half an hour and it was only just pink in the middle so It could probably have done with a few minutes less. however, it was crispy on the outside, the meat was very, very tasty and so tender that even I, with few remaining teeth, had no problem chomping my way through it!

I bought two and the Lamb is lovely for Easter. One small issue is I was only given two legs of lamb instead of my expected shoulder as pictured.

Beautiful product. Definitely worth the price. But it's only 1.4kg, not 1.7 or 1.6. One of our favourite meat. Good customer service too!

A quite expensive treat for us but well worth it! Truly delicious and tender. I got my shopping wrong and had no lard so I used duck fat instead, it worked very well. Enough meat for 4 generous portions and some left for a sandwich too.
