&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Template:Indicación Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] Cordero Manchego&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is fresh [[meat]] of choice or top quality, of [[lamb]] of the Manchego breed, male&lt;br /&gt;
or female animals (males uncastrated) reared for at least 30 days on their mother’s [[milk]]&lt;br /&gt;
supplemented by white straw and authorised concentrates. Live weight on slaughter at&lt;br /&gt;
the abattoir ranges from 22 to 28 kg, and the animals are aged from 60 to 90 days.&lt;br /&gt;
Carcasses, weighing 10 to 14 kg, are long and slim, with a slightly rounded silhouette,&lt;br /&gt;
and harmonious proportions; they are lean or slightly [[fat]], the rump, back and haunches&lt;br /&gt;
being covered with a thin layer of fine, creamy white [[fat]], while the shoulder, leg and&lt;br /&gt;
trapezium muscles are lean. The [[meat]] is pale pink, very tender and juicy, with incipient&lt;br /&gt;
intramuscular fattiness imparting a characteristic, highly pleasant flavour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Geographical area&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: The Manchego breed is pastured and reared in the provinces of&lt;br /&gt;
Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo, in an area comprising the La Mancha,&lt;br /&gt;
Manchuela, Centro and Almansa districts of Albacete; the Mancha, Campo de&lt;br /&gt;
Calatrava and Campo de Montiel districts of Ciudad Real; the Manchuela, Mancha&lt;br /&gt;
Baja and Mancha Alta districts of Cuenca; and the La Mancha district of Toledo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Proof of origin&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Manchego lambs born in registered holdings are identified on birth with&lt;br /&gt;
a plastic ear tag on the left ear, which identifies the holding by means of two capital&lt;br /&gt;
letters followed by the letters CM and the serial number shown in the birth records.&lt;br /&gt;
They are rested at the abattoir for at least 12 hours prior to slaughter. After slaughter,&lt;br /&gt;
the carcass classification committee, appointed by the Regulatory Council, determines&lt;br /&gt;
which carcasses are eligible for the designation, and stamps them accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Method of production&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Manchego lambs, identified from birth by means of an eartag,&lt;br /&gt;
are slaughtered and handled in establishments registered with the Regulatory Council.&lt;br /&gt;
The qualification committee selects animals for slaughter; animals are slaughtered,&lt;br /&gt;
skinned and eviscerated in accordance with legally approved methods. Carcasses are&lt;br /&gt;
kept in chambers at 3C to 4C for less than 24 hours, or at 1C to 3C for longer&lt;br /&gt;
periods. They are never kept for more than six days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Link&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: The area is characterised by a wide variety of topographical and landscape&lt;br /&gt;
features, with a temperate Mediterranean climate and a wide range of temperatures.&lt;br /&gt;
The Manchego breed is a native breed of sheep, that has been adapted to this region&lt;br /&gt;
from time immemorial, and has been one of the main sources of wealth in the area.&lt;br /&gt;
The breed is reared for [[milk]], [[meat]] and wool, and constitutes the major form of exploitation&lt;br /&gt;
of natural resources, flora and meadows, forage crops, fallow land, stubble and&lt;br /&gt;
coppices; this varied diet and the special features of the breed provide [[meat]] that is&lt;br /&gt;
particularly juicy, with a characteristic colour and flavour due to its geographical origin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Gastronomy&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: [[Template:Indicación Geográfica Protegida|IGP]] Cordero Manchego can be stored in the [[refrigerator]] for a few days, wrapped in a protective film and placed in the coldest compartment. It can be cooked in various ways and used in many recipes that call for its use. It is mainly used for [[roasted]] [[meat]] with the addition of few [[condiments]] in order to conserve the flavour and the extremely pleasant taste. It is perfect in unison with young [[wines]] with a fruity bouquet.&lt;br /&gt;
