NZ
New Zealand lamb is the countryʻs most famous meat export and one of the worldʻs finest lamb products. Grass-fed year-round (NZʻs temperate climate allows pastoral farming without feedlots), the lamb is lean, sweet, and finely textured. Canterbury and Southland are the primary lamb regions. In the hāngi (NZ-1), lamb replaced the traditional Māori protein (birds) after European introduction. NZ lamb now defines the hāngi experience. The lamb industry connects to the broader NZ pastoral identity: sheep farming shaped the countryʻs economy, landscape, and culture.
