Grass-Fed Heritage Mutton from Yorkshire
For centuries, mutton was the preferred choice of meat, far surpassing lamb in popularity. However, about 70 years ago, changing food trends and misconceptions about its flavour caused lamb to take the spotlight. Contrary to popular belief, the rich, full flavour of grass-fed mutton is its greatest asset.
A product of age and quality of life, heritage breed mutton is characterised by its darker meat, generous fat content, and bold, distinctive taste. These qualities make it an exceptional choice for dishes with strong, complex flavours. Whether you’re preparing a spiced mutton tagine, a fragrant curry, or a classic shawarma, mutton’s versatility shines in the kitchen.
As sustainable mutton meat makes a well-deserved resurgence, Swaledale Butchers is proud to offer a selection of free range mutton meat, sourced from heritage breeds and expertly butchered. Perfect for those seeking traditional mutton cuts, our bold flavoured mutton is ideal for creating unforgettable dishes. If you’re looking to buy mutton online, our collection is designed to elevate your cooking with a traditional yet bold ingredient.
