Lamb chop

Lamb chop is a lean and juicy cut of meat that comes from the ribs of a lamb, a young sheep. This ingredient is characterized by its intense yet mild flavor, making it ideal for various cooking methods such as grilling, roasting, or pan-frying. Its tender texture and delicate aroma make it a highly valued option in both traditional and contemporary cuisine.

Lamb originates from regions where sheep farming is common, especially in Mediterranean countries, the Middle East, and parts of Europe. Lamb chop is a popular ingredient in recipes ranging from Mediterranean to South American dishes, where the strong, natural flavors of this meat are highly appreciated.

In terms of its properties, lamb chop is rich in high-quality proteins and contains a good amount of B vitamins, iron, and zinc, which are essential minerals for the proper functioning of the body. It also provides healthy fats that contribute to its characteristic flavor.

Depending on the country or region in Latin America, lamb chop may be known by various names such as costilla de cordero, costa de cordero, or simply chuleta. In all cases, it refers to the ribs cut into individual or double portions, ready to be grilled or fried.
