For over half a century, ILCO has produced sheep and lamb meat across the entire supply chain, from farming to the finished product. Every lamb is identified on arrival and labelled before shipping: each batch is documented and traceable, from farm to delivery. This is how we guarantee our customers a safe, consistent product all year round. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It all starts with the choice of animals: our own, raised in a semi-wild, free-range system, and those from partner farms, selected by the same criteria. Knowing the animal is the first quality control. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
