Segureña

B tier

Segureña sheep come from the Segura mountains of south-eastern Spain, a white medium-wool breed raised extensively on Mediterranean scrub and cereal stubble. The region’s light lambs are celebrated in Spanish gastronomy under quality labels tied to young slaughter weights. Segureña lamb is pale, tender, and delicately flavoured—classic for chuletillas, roasted legs, and fine dining in Murcia and Andalusia. Low intensive finishing preserves a clean taste; the meat is milder than aged hill mutton and prized when animals are killed light.
