'''Gastronomy'''
Borrego de Montemor-O-Novo [[Template:Indicação Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] [[lamb]] should be kept at a temperature of between 2°C-4°C. It cannot be sold frozen but it may be frozen once acquired, and for domestic use. The [[meat]] cannot be eaten earlier than 72 hours after slaughter. It can only be kept in the fridge for a few days after buying. This [[lamb]] is used in many traditional local dishes such as ''caldeirada de borrego'', ''borrego assado no forno de lenha'' and ''borrego frito em azeite e alho''. Certain cuts are delicious simply [[grilled]], such as the [[ribs]] and chops.  Borrego de Montemor-O-Novo [[Template:Indicação Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] [[lamb]] is very tender and has very little [[fat]]. It has a delicate and succulent flavour.
