‘Comeragh Mountain Lamb’ seeks EU status

The status recognises and protects foods with a unique link to a distinct location, benefitting local economies and food tourism.

Comeragh Mountain Lamb is the meat from lambs, mainly of the Scotch blackface breed, born and raised in the Co Waterford region. The lambs graze on the distinct and abundant habitat of wild grasses, flowers and herbs in the 12 coums (fertile hollow) in the Comeragh mountain range, which provides the lamb with its particular flavour and delicate texture.
