Ris de Veau – New Zealand Lamb Neck Sweetbreads

New Zealand Lamb Sweetbreads (Neck)

📖 Product Description

New Zealand lamb neck sweetbreads, known in gastronomy as Ris de Veau, are one of the most exquisite and refined offal cuts. They come from the thymus gland of young animals, located between the neck and the chest, and are characterized by their exceptionally tender and buttery texture.
In international gastronomy, they are considered a true delicacy and are often used in French and gourmet recipes. New Zealand lambs, globally renowned for their quality and natural rearing, offer sweetbreads with a particularly delicate flavor and smooth texture. When cooked correctly, they develop a slightly crispy crust on the outside while remaining incredibly soft and aromatic on the inside.
