Connacht Mountain Lamb · Galway

Connacht mountain lamb grazed on Connemara bog and heather has a distinctive mineral depth; roasted or braised, it appears on Galway best menus from Aniar to Kai.

The limestone grassland and heather bog of Connemara produce lamb with a flavour profile unlike lowland-grazed animals, with herbal and mineral notes from bog-raised grass. Connacht sheep farming predates the Norman conquest and the Connemara breed was developed for the harsh Atlantic climate. JP McMahon at Aniar made Connacht lamb a flagship ingredient in the Michelin-starred tasting menu, sourcing from a single Connemara farm and serving every cut from loin to belly across a multi-course sequence.
