Product Description

A bone in lamb shoulder is a super popular choice among chefs and home cooks alike:

1. Flavour: The bone in shoulder contains great marbling and connective tissue, which contributes to its rich flavour. Cooking on the bone also enhances the overall taste of the dish.
2. Moisture and Tenderness: The bone acts as a natural conductor of heat, helping to distribute it evenly throughout the meat. This also aids in retaining moisture and ensures that the lamb remains juicy and tender despite being cooked for a long period of time.
3. Slow-cooking potential: Lamb shoulder is well suited for slow cooking methods like roasting or braising. The bone, along with the surrounding connective tissues, breaks down over extended cooking times, resulting in a succulent and fork-tender texture. This is where the terms ‘fall from the bone’, ‘melt in your mouth’, ‘no knife required’ are perfect descriptors.
4. Versatility: A bone in lamb shoulder is incredibly versatile. You can roast it whole, braise it, smoke it, throw it in a slow cooker, cut it into smaller pieces for stewing, or even use it for making hearty soups & or pastas. Its flexibility allows for a wide range of culinary creations & cooking styles.
5. Economical: Lamb shoulder is often more affordable compared to other premium cuts like lamb chops or racks. Choosing a bone in cut can further reduce the cost while still delivering excellent flavour and texture. There’s always a lot of meat on this cut so you can make one lamb shoulder go a long way. Use the left overs to create a completely new dish. Eg. Turn the lamb roast left overs in to a rich pulled lamb pappardelle.  
6. Ideal for Feeding a Crowd: The size of a lamb shoulder makes it perfect for serving larger groups of people, making it an excellent choice for family gatherings, parties, or holiday feasts.
7. Nutritional Value: Lamb is a good source of protein, vitamins (such as B vitamins), and minerals (such as iron and zinc). The shoulder, being a well used muscle, contains healthy fats and nutrients that add to its nutritional value.

Overall, a bone-in lamb shoulder is an excellent choice for those seeking a flavourful and tender meat cut that can be cooked in various ways to suit different tastes and occasions.
