Proe die veld
Die Karoo, 'n eensame uithoek op aarde en tuiste van een van ons lewende skatte: skape wat op hul tyd tussen verspreide bossies wei. Karoolam spog met 'n sertifikaat van oorsprong (geografiese aanduiding), nes rooibos, Franse sjampanje en Italië se parmaham. Net skape wat in 'n gebied wei met minstens twee van ses inheemse bossies, van ankerkaroo tot kapokbos en brakganna, dra die kroon. Volgens die verklaring wat dié status uiteensit (www.greengazette.co.za), is kapokbos, ook genoem wilde roosmaryn, "n gunstelingkos van die skape en een van die geurmiddels wat Karoolam sy unieke smaak gee". Of soos die boere van daai wêreld graag sê: "Op die hoef" gegeur.

Our Promise
The appellation 'Karoo Lamb' signifies lamb that is both born and nurtured in the Karoo region. Fundamental to our commitment is the rigorous validation of the lamb's origin, sourced exclusively from the Karoo area. This stringent process guarantees that only authentic, free-range animals bear the distinguished Karoo Lamb hallmark.
Our Karoo
A vast and beautiful region in South Africa, home to more than 6 000 plant species. Spanning over 400 000 square kilometres, it is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. The Karoo is a semi-desert area, with dry and arid conditions that are ideal for many succulent plants. These plants have adapted to the harsh conditions by developing deep roots that can access underground water sources.
The Nama Karoo Biome
The World's Only Arid Hotspot
Our GI Guarantee
Meat products with the official SA-GI logo guarantees that that lamb and mutton products have been produced in the Karoo on the natural veld in accordance with the rules of the Karoo Lamb GI published in the Government Gazette of 27 October 2023. When you see the Karoo Lamb logo in combination with the SA-GI logo on a product, it's our sincere promise that you are getting genuine Karoo lamb, raised in a natural and sustainable environment.
