Whole mutton neck comes from a mature sheep, giving it a deeper, richer flavour than lamb neck develops. This mutton neck is Certified Halal and produced in the UK, cut into dice o r chunks built for slow, low-and-slow cooking — curries, nihari, stews — where the connective tissue melts into a rich, clinging sauce.What's in whole mutton neck?There's nothing else in the pack — just 100% British mutton neck, no fillers, no additives. The neck primal carries a marbling of fat and plenty of connective tissue, exactly what you want for a pot that runs long and low rather than a quick grill.Is mutton neck the same as lamb neck?No. Mutton comes from a sheep over a year old, while lamb is younger — that extra maturity is what gives mutton its deeper, more savoury flavour and firmer bite, and it's why nihari and other slow-cooked sheep curries are traditionally built on mutton rather than lamb neck. This neck is produced in the UK, slaughtered by the non-stunned method, from animals reared Antibiotic-free and Growth hormone-free, and supplied in packs from 500g to 4kg.How is whole mutton neck cut?Choose diced 10-15g, diced 25-30g, diced 50-60g, or chunked 160-180g pieces, and match the size to the dish — smaller dice for a faster curry, the bigger chunks for a longer nihari-style braise. Every option comes Fat-On or Fat-Off, in 500g, 1kg, 2kg or 4kg packs. Show more
