INSTRUCTIONS

Why not try our Gower Salt Marsh Lamb (PDO), a food name with Protected Designation of Origin status! The multi-award-winning fine meat comes exclusively from the 4,000 acre salt marsh that covers the northern shores of the Gower Peninsular, Britain’s very first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The marsh is abundant with salt tolerant herbs, and it is from the lambs grazing on this wonderful herb forage which gives Gower Salt Marsh Lamb its mild, sweet and delicate flavour with grassy, herby and slightly salty fresh notes.
