lamb loin

Premium sheep meat

Lamb loin is a cut of meat from the back of a lamb, running along the spine between the ribs and leg.

It's among the most tender and prized cuts, typically sold as chops, a roast, or boneless for grilling: We ordered the lamb loin with rosemary and garlic.

The double loin, cut across both sides of the backbone, yields a saddle of lamb.
