Lord Newborough, Owner of the Rhug Estate, said, “We are absolutely delighted to have been chosen as a finalist in the Great British Food Awards for our Organic Salt Marsh Lamb. We pride ourselves on producing the best quality organic meat for our customers, whether they be in our Farm Shop, online or wholesale. Rhug Organic Salt Marsh Lamb can also be found on some of the most prestigious menus in the world.”
Rhug Organic Salt Marsh Lamb is produced on the Estate’s coastal farm, Tŷ Mawr, near Caernarfon, by Deio Hughes and his family. The fields at Tŷ Mawr are washed by the sea in the winter and as a result grow special grasses and herbs such as sea lavender, samphire, sorrel, thrift and other salt marsh grasses. This unique environment imparts the lamb with its distinctive and very special, sweet, light flavour that is so sought after by top chefs throughout the world. Salt Marsh Lamb is seasonal because as the grasses die back the flavour diminishes so it is only available from June until December.
Lord Newborough said, “Rhug Organic Salt Marsh Lamb has such a unique flavour. The sweet, delicate flavour that the salt marsh grasses produce, combined with the organic farming system Deio uses produce a mouth-watering texture to our lamb. Customers in London’s Borough Market, Deli stores around the UK and top restaurants look forward to our Salt Marsh Lamb season starting every year. Well done to Deio and his family for producing such top quality meat.”
