🐑 Lamb Sweetbreads
🇬🇷 Lamb Sweetbreads are one of the most exquisite traditional cuts of Greek lamb, known for their silky texture, delicate flavor, and rich aroma.
They are a classic meze in Greek cuisine, ideal for frying, grilling, or barbecuing, as well as for gourmet fine dining proposals.
Fresh, cleaned, and ready for cooking, our sweetbreads offer an authentic Greek taste experience with a premium character.

📖 What are Sweetbreads
Although often called "heart sweetbreads" due to their location near the chest, they are actually the animal's pancreas.
-
Shape: They are more compact, rounded, and resemble a small "pork tenderloin" in appearance.
-
Texture: They are firmer, tighter, and somewhat fattier than those from the neck.
-
Flavor: They have a more intense, "full-bodied" meat flavor. Due to their density, they retain their shape better when baked or fried.
