3.   Type of product:

Class 1.1. Fresh lamb

4.   Specification (summary of requirements under Article 4(2))

4.1.   Name: ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’

4.2.   Description: The geographical indication protects lambs of the pure-bred Navarra and Lacha breeds, marketed as fresh meat.

There are two distinct categories, the suckling lamb (Lechal) and the light lamb (Ternasco).

Lechal lamb: male or female animal of the Lacha or Navarra breed, suckled by the ewe up to the time of slaughter, with a carcass weight of between 5 and 8 kg for the Lacha breed and of between 6 and 8 kg for the Navarra breed (including head and offal).

Ternasco lamb: male or female animal of the Navarra breed, suckled by the ewe up to a minimum of 45 days from birth, with a carcass weight of between 9 and 12 kg (not including head or offal).

Only ‘first’ qualities of categories ‘A’ and ‘B’ in the case of the Lechal lambs, and categories ‘B’ and ‘C’ in the case of the Ternasco lambs, of the Community scale for the classification of carcasses of light lambs (Regulation (EEC) No 2137/92 and Regulation (EEC) No 461/93) will be admitted.

The carcasses must also exhibit the following characteristics:

LECHAL LAMB: fat cover: slight to average (class 2-3 according to Regulations (EEC) No 2137/92 and No 461/93 establishing the Community scale for the classification of carcasses of light lambs). Meat colour: pearly white to pale pink. Meat's distinguishing features: tender, very juicy, smooth texture and distinctive flavour.

TERNASCO LAMB: fat cover: slight to average (class 2-3 according to Regulations (EEC) No 2137/92 and No 461/93 establishing the Community scale for the classification of carcasses of light lambs). Meat colour: pale pink. Meat's distinguishing features: tender, with traces of intramuscular fat infiltration, very juicy, smooth texture and distinctive flavour.

4.3.   Geographical area: The lamb production area covers the entire province of Navarre: the Lacha breed occupies the northern half, and the Navarra breed the whole of Navarre with the exception of the north-west.

4.4.   Proof of origin: Three registers will be kept for the purposes of recording checks on the origin of the product: one by livestock holdings rearing lambs, one by processors of fresh lamb, and lastly, one by establishments where processing takes place.

All lambs will be identified, prior to weaning (25-30 days for the Latxa breed and 40-45 days for the Navarra breed), by means of an ear tag to be worn up to slaughter and bearing the number of the holding of birth. Each breeder's lambs arriving at the slaughterhouse will be accompanied by a document (livestock health guide) containing the number of the holding, the number of lambs covered, plus the breed and age.

Births will be recorded in a register setting out the data relating to the holding and the animals. All these details will be passed on to the Regulating Board.

Where a lamb is reared on a holding other than that of its birth, this will be checked out by means of the purchase and sales declaration which the livestock farmer will have to draw up and subsequently forward to the Regulating Board.

Checks will be conducted in the slaughterhouse to ensure that lambs come from registered holdings. For the purposes of ensuring the meat's traceability, carcasses complying with the specifications set out in point 4.2 of the information sheet will be identified with numbered labels issued by the Regulating Board and, in the cutting plant, each piece will likewise be identified with a numbered label.

The PGI inspector will conduct an ante-mortem examination of the animals and also inspect the accompanying documents in order to check the breed, the animals' ear tags, and that the holding of origin is entered in the PGI. Unidentified animals and those belonging to breeds which are not covered will be separated from the batch because they are not suitable for the PGI. Those batches of lamb which are covered will be slaughtered separately in order to ensure traceability.

Traceability

Batches which are covered are labelled with slaughterhouse labels setting out the animals' weight. The PGI inspectors classify the lambs in accordance with the PGI criteria (weight, colour, fat); the details are recorded and the suitable animals are labelled.

Traceability during cutting is ensured in the case of Lechal lamb by means of 4 PGI labels bearing a PGI control number. These are attached to the extremities, one on each carcass quarter. In the case of Ternasco lamb, traceability is ensured by means of a continuous stamp of food dye running from the neck to the hindquarters, and a single PGI label is attached per carcass.

4.5.   Method of production: The lambs covered by the PGI must be the offspring of ewes which undergo their productive cycle in extensive or semi-extensive rearing systems, making good use of pasture and other natural plant resources in their diet, in accordance with traditional practice in the geographical area.

Most holdings (86 %) rearing the Latxa breed of lamb practise transterminance, involving small movements between the valley and nearby mountains. This system is based on making use of common mountain pasture in summer and autumn, of meadows in October and November, and then on staying on the holding for the rest of the year, wher the diet is supplemented by dried fodder (alfalfa hay, grass or vetch-oats) and natural feed (cereals and pulses).

Some holdings rearing the Navarra breed of lamb have used vertical transhumance (between mountains and plains) or horizontal transhumance, involving large movements. Nowadays, however, it is more common to use transterminance and to stay on the holding. There are three types of farming adapted to the area: 1) ‘valley port’ system in the Pyrenean area, which makes use of upland pasture in summer, 2) transterminance in cereal areas, which makes use of stubble fields and scrub, and 3) grazing in irrigated areas, in polyphytic cultivated meadows. In the first two systems, the diet is supplemented by hay, straw and natural feed (corn, barley) when resources are scarce (normally in winter). In irrigated areas, alfalfa shoots, stubble fields and left-overs from harvests are also used to supplement the sheep diet.

Lechal lambs are suckled by ewes until they are slaughtered (25-30 days in the case of the Latxa breed and 40-45 days in the case of the Navarra breed), their carcasses reaching a weight at that time of 5 to 8 kg.

Ternasco lambs are suckled until they are at least 45 days old. During the fattening phase, the lambs' diet consists of white cereal straw and concentrates based on cereals, legumes, vitamins and minerals. Lambs not weaned after 45 days are given the fattening diet plus their mother's milk. At the time of slaughter, the carcasses weigh 9 to 12 kg.

Concentrated feedingstuffs may not include any by-products of plant origin other than those derived from cereals or legumes, nor urea.

Substances which could in any way affect the normal rate of growth and development of the animal are expressly prohibited.

The lambs are transported to the slaughterhouse, where they are slaughtered and dressed; the carcasses are obtained in approved slaughterhouses in the Autonomous Community of Navarre.

4.6.   Link: The people of Navarre clearly have a predilection for lamb, given that it tops the list of favourite dishes in the region. Many gastronomes and historians have praised the virtues of Navarre lamb through the ages, as their writings will testify.

Historical references allude to the popularity of lamb in the Middle Ages among the people of Navarre, in monasteries and at royal banquets.

The tradition is still very much alive today, and throughout the 20th century, highly interesting comments about Navarre lamb and its benefits have been made by gastronomes. One of these is Cristino Álvarez, known as ‘Caius Apicius’: ‘The lambs of Navarre, specifically those from the Pamplona valley, enjoy a well-deserved reputation. Lamb is probably the most traditional and commonly served meat dish in Navarre; the quality of the animal, an essential prerequisite for culinary success, is beyond question’.

With regard to the link of the ‘Navarra’ and ‘Lacha’ sheep breeds with the geographical area, it has been shown that the two breeds have co-existed in Navarre since prehistoric times, sometimes sharing the same areas and pastures, and sometimes spreading out into different areas adapted to their breed characteristics.

Throughout Roman, medieval and modern times, the sheep population of Navarre has prevailed, surmounting the crises and huge changes the rural world has undergone this century.

4.8.   Labelling: Lamb carcasses covered by the PGI must be provided with a numbered label or back label issued by the Regulating Board, bearing the words: ‘Indicación Geográfica Protegida Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’.

There are three types of label for the three types of lamb covered: 1) ‘raza Navarra, ternasco’, 2) ‘raza navarra lechal’ and 3) ‘raza Latxa lechal’. All of these carry a control number and the PGI logo. Furthermore, the breed and whether it is Lechal or Ternasco is indicated on a blue background (Navarra breed, Ternasco), a yellow background (Navarra breed, Lechal) or a red background (Latxa breed, Lechal).
