What is New Zealand Lamb?
This recipe for herb rubbed boneless leg of lamb roast with white wine reduction features our 3.5 pound New Zealand Boneless Leg of Lamb. New Zealand lamb has a meaty, complex-yet-familiar flavor that is the hallmark of a perfect lamb.
Each boneless leg of lamb is reared in the rolling grasslands of New Zealand, where it’s humanely pasture-raised and sustained on eco-friendly native grasses, like rye, clover, and alfalfa. This ensures you get a well-marbled portion of lamb that’s remarkably lean and succulent with a subtle earthly flavor and tender texture.
