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 prized and refined types of offal. They come from the thymus gland of young animals, located between the neck and chest, and are known for their exceptionally tender, buttery texture.
In international cuisine, they are considered a true delicacy and are often used in French and gourmet recipes. New Zealand lambs, known worldwide for their quality and natural rearing, produce sweetbreads with a particularly fine flavor and delicate texture. When cooked properly, they develop a lightly crisp crust on the outside while remaining incredibly soft and aromatic inside.
