Center Leg of Lamb from Córdoba by COVAP

Get ready to fall in love with Spanish lamb. This center cut leg of lamb is the leanest, most tender part of the leg, crowned with a generous fat cap that melts into the meat as it cooks, infusing every bite with rich, savory flavor.

Perfectly sized at approximately two pounds, it’s an ideal centerpiece for a special dinner. Roasted until golden, its mild taste and juicy texture are sure to impress your guests and elevate any meal.

So, what makes Spanish lamb so delicious? For starters, these lambs are nearly half the size of their American counterparts. This young lamb (called cordero in Spanish) delivers a delicate, sweet flavor with none of the gamey notes, just pure, tender goodness.

Raised in the ancient dehesa rangelands of southern Spain, the same legendary terrain that hosts the famed Ibérico pig, these lambs graze freely for months before being transferred a short distance to COVAP’s Bienestar WELFAIR™-certified humane finishing center. There, they are fed high quality grains to ensure a sweet, mild flavor.

At the heart of it all is COVAP, Spain’s largest farmers’ cooperative, famed for its promotion of animal welfare and exceptional food quality. Located in el Valle de los Pedroches, deep in the dehesa, COVAP’s facilities are adjacent to the pastures—ensuring minimal transport, maximum freshness and a taste that reflects centuries of tradition and care.
