Sheep grazing the salt meadows around Mont Saint-Michel
Agneau de pré-salé (French: "Salt meadow lamb") is a type of lamb which was raised in salt marsh meadows of France,[1] especially Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy and the Bay of the Somme in Picardy. The sheep graze in pastures that are covered in halophyte grasses with a high salinity and iodine content,[2] causing their meat to have a distinct taste that is considered a delicacy.[3]
In 2006, salt marsh lamb raised in the area around the Bay of the Somme received its own AOC certification.[4] It can also be found, to a lesser extent, in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.[5][6]
