our lambs
We market 300,000 lambs per year. All our
production comes from our partners and
associates’ farms. A total of approximately 500
independent breeders who work exclusively with
us. We monitor and advise each farm in order to
obtain optimal breeding and we pick them up
when they are ready.
At our feeding and sorting facilities lambs
complete the feeding process and are ready for
slaughter.
The flagship product is Ternasco de Aragon,
though we also have suckling lamb,
“commercial” lamb, kid goat and organic lamb.

ternasco de aragon
Ternasco de Aragon
Lamb, (Protected

for lambs) is the best
seller and most wanted
meat lamb in Spain.

Ternascos de Aragon are lambs which are fed their mothers’ milk and natural cereals from birth to
slaughtering. They are slaughtered before they are 90 days old and the carcass average weight
ranges from 8 to 12.5 kg.
Only three autochthonous breeds are accepted for production of Ternasco de Aragon.

and label them appropriately.


Slide 6

organic lambs
A selected group of our farmers produce
organic lambs.
All the process is monitored and certified by
Regional Authorities.


Slide 7

carcasses and meat cuts
When the lambs are ready to be consumed, they are
taken to Mercazaragoza for slaughter.
Once they have been slaughtered and subjected to a
drying process, they are sorted again. Those which
do not meet the quality standards are separated and
the others are distributed according to the tastes and
needs of our customers.
This way we manage to maintain consistent quality.
Although each animal is unique, we try each batch to
be as homogeneous as possible and always
according to the requirements agreed with our
customers.


Slide 8

packaging
Our Cutting and Packaging Room in Mercazaragoza, integrated within the slaughterhouse,
enables total processing of product in record time and with minimal handling, which
guarantees the original quality of meat is maintained and ensures complete hygiene and
traceability.

tray sealing
We take special care of product
presentation. We ensure that all our
packages have a great visual
impact. Our packaging machines
support both styrofoam and clear
plastic trays. We also work with
several formats, always adapting to
the type of product and quantity
desired.

frozen products
Frozen products are traditionally associated with poor
quality products, usually imported from countries such
as New Zealand.
However, it has important advantages such
as preservation and price.

Ternasco de Aragon, which has been frozen
at its source, fully maintains its properties
and provides restaurants with a top
quality product with no shelf-life issues, at a
competitive price that remains constant
throughout the year.
