Taste Shetland

Shetland lamb has been around for centuries but, its very existence appears to have been kept a closely guarded secret. The Shetland lamb producers have come together under the Taste Shetland brand to bring this highly sought after product to new markets.

Shetland Island Lamb. With its heavy muscle structure and high meat yield, Island lamb - available all year round - is deceptively familiar in appearance to mainland breeds. But there, the similarity ends. Its kinship to Hill and Seaweed lamb means that it possesses many of the unique characteristics and distinct flavour for which Shetland lamb is renowned. Shetland Hill Lamb. The classic native bred lamb. Tender and succulent with a delicate, slightly sweet flavour, the naturally lean quality of the meat is attained from the animals foraging over the islands’ vast and remote heathery hills. Available from September until December, Hill lamb has to be tasted to appreciate its true distinction. Shetland Seaweed Lamb. Seaweed lamb's exclusivity is derived from native lambs that not only feed on the heather hills and inland pastures, but also have access to the islands’ rugged seashore. This unique grazing combination makes for a truly memorable tasting experience.
