Frigorifico San Jacinto ? Nirea S.A. has a long tradition in sheep meat production, having achieved international market recognition for its brand "NIREA" from the start.
In 1996, the company launched its Heavy Lamb Program, projected for lambs yielding a carcass weight of 13 to 20 kg. and even heavier. The end result was a first-rate lamb, with just the right tenderness for its age and breed, an exquisite flavor and excellent size for its eye of loin as well as for other cuts.
A strict quality control in the farms ensures that lambs are only shipped to the slaughterhouse after being cleared by prior inspection which determines compliance with the weight and finishing specifications stipulated in the Program protocol. The result is that all lambs slaughtered present a remarkably uniform quality.
There are already more than 1,000 producers participating in this Programme. In addition, the very characteristics of the Programme facilitate an adequate production traceability.
The brand "NIREA Premium Lamb" was chosen from the onset to identify the high-quality carcasses and bone-in and boneless cuts produced with these lambs.
Today "NIREA Premium Lamb" is one of the leading brands of lamb in the world, competing successfully in every market.
