About Lamb Breast
Lamb Breast is offered by Laurel Highlands Farms as part of our Pennsylvania farm-direct lamb program. LAMB · per lb
Lamb breast comes from the belly and rib area and carries more fat and connective tissue than the leaner cuts on the animal. Slow roasting or braising renders that fat and tenderizes the meat, and lamb breast is also the cut used to make lamb bacon or a pastrami-style cure.
Lamb breast is often sold as a flat, boneless or bone-in section that can be rolled and tied before slow roasting, or cured for a homemade lamb bacon. Plan on a longer cook time to render its higher fat content. It is a good candidate for a low oven roast of two hours or more, basted occasionally, until the fat renders and the meat is tender.
Buying directly from a farm is easier when product identity, price and use are clear. Consider how many people you are feeding, the cooking methods you use most often and how the item will fit into your meal planning. Our shop also includes related cuts, primals and specialty boxes so you can compare options without losing the connection to the farm.
Availability follows the realities of a working livestock farm. Add currently available products to your cart and confirm pickup or other fulfillment details during checkout or by contacting the farm. For more help choosing and cooking cuts, visit our beef and lamb guides.
Good to know
Fresh lamb keeps best refrigerated at 40°F or below and should be cooked within a few days of thawing; for longer storage keep it frozen in the original vacuum packaging. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator on a tray and pat the meat dry before cooking for a better crust.
Pasture-raised lamb has a clean, mild flavor when it is not overcooked. Cook chops and racks quickly to medium-rare or medium, and give shoulder, shank and breast cuts the long, gentle heat that turns their connective tissue tender. Always rest the meat before carving.
