New Zealand is an ideal place to produce pure, authentic, delicious lamb. Strauss New Zealand lamb is grazed on some of the world’s most fertile pastures and is 100% grass fed and grass-finished by family farmers and ranchers. The temperate, subtropical climate, ample rainfall, and emerald-green pastures produce lamb with classic flavor. A nature-intended stress-free environment creates exceptionally succulent, tender meat with exceptional tenderness. New Zealand lamb breeds are petite resulting in the smallest of Strauss Lamb cuts, a benefit for culinary creativity and versatility. Humane raising has always been the cultural tradition in New Zealand. Lambs are never administered growth hormones or animal by-products. Antibiotic use is strictly regulated and only allowed to treat illness, never given preventatively or as a growth stimulant. Combining a pristine environment and humane handling results in exceptional meat.
