Matís is preparing a project on smoked and dried lamb and is looking for cooperation with small, local companies for the development of smoked and dried lamb products. Air-dried lamb should have the same status as air-dried ham (such as Parma, San Daniels and Serrano) in southern Europe.
Matís examines producers' interest in participating in a development project on smoked and dried lamb. The project is divided into two parts, on the one hand education and product development related to local food production and food tourism in Iceland and on the other hand collaboration with parties in the Faroe Islands and Norway on the development of air-dried / smoked lamb products.
The first part of the project is an analysis of the state of affairs in Iceland, i.e. an assessment of how many people are producing or are interested in producing smoked and / or dried mutton and to realize the need for and interest in education, consulting and collaboration on product development and promotion / marketing of these products.
As part of the project, a survey has now been prepared with the aim of examining who is interested in and the current state of production of air-dried lamb is in this country. Matís encourages everyone who is interested in the issue to participate. The survey will be open for participation until 5 September.
