What Is Salt Marsh Lamb And What Makes It Special?

Everyone loves to celebrate with family and friends over a special meal, and few centrepieces can match the unique flavour and quality of Salt Marsh lamb. As we burst into spring and lamb comes into season, here's why Salt Marsh lamb deserves a place at your table this year.

What Makes Salt Marsh Lamb Special?

Salt Marsh lamb comes from sheep that graze on coastal pastures regularly flooded by the sea. These pastures contain unique grasses, herbs, and samphire that thrive in salt-rich environments. This special diet gives the meat its distinctive flavour profile – slightly sweeter and more delicate than regular lamb, with a natural seasoning that comes from the salt-enriched vegetation.

Superior Flavour and Tenderness

The meat from Salt Marsh lamb is known for its exceptional tenderness and succulence. The distinctive diet of these coastal sheep results in meat that's beautifully marbled with a milder flavour than traditional lamb. As one of our satisfied customers shared: "This is the 2nd time we've had this and it really is a lovely piece of lamb. Give it a try and see how anaemic supermarket lamb is in comparison!". We have tonnes of options for Salt Marsh Lamb sourced from the Romney Salt Marshes here at Farmfetch, including whole legs, boneless shoulder, and fantastic lamb racks.
