'''[[Template:Geschützte UrsprungsbezeichnungDe|g.U.]] Lüneburger Heidschnucke''' is [[meat]] produced from Heidschnucke sheep; lean, high quality
[[meat]] with a gamey flavour.

'''Geographical area''': Former [[German]] principality of Lüneburg (now known as the
Lüneburger Heide), covering the rural districts of Celle,
Gifhom, Harburg, Lüchow-Dannenberg, Uelzen,
Lüneburg and Soltau-Fallingbostel.

'''Proof of origin''': Lüneburger Heidschnucke sheep have been raised on the
dry heathland of the Lüneburg region for well over a
century and a half. Since as far back as 1848 this breed
has far outnumbered all other breeds of sheep kept in the
former principality of Lüneburg.
The heathland area was at its largest extension in the
18th century, due to timber felling and slash-and-bum
practices. This encouraged increased growth of heather,
which thrives on sandy soils with a low nitrogen content
and few nutrients. Since Heidschnucke sheep are a hardy
breed, they were able to feed on the woody-stemmed
heather even though it provided few nutrients.
Lüneburger Heidschnucke sheep have therefore acted as
a natural caretaker of the heathland landscape for
centuries, making an invaluable contribution to the
conservation of this natural landscape by constant
browsing.

'''Method of production''':

la) Shepherding in herds of over 100 ewes on heathland
and neighbouring areas;

1b) Folding of grazing herds of around 8 ewes and more
on grassland (permanent grassland);

2) Meat production in accordance with German and European food and
veterinary laws

'''Link''': Lüneburger Heidschnucke sheep feed on heather which
is poor in nutrients and therefore slows their growth,
producing a very lean [[meat]]. The conditions under which
Heidschnucke sheep are farmed and their feeding
conditions combine to produce the wild-[[game]] flavouring
typical of this breed. To ensure that the sheep [[meat]] is
produced in this geographical area and subsequent meat
products are processed and manufactured here, holdings
that farm Lüneburger Heidschnucke are registered in the
area, as are slaughterhouses and catering establishments
processing [[meat]] from these animals. The origin of the
slaughter animals can be traced through their eartag
numbers.

'''Gastronomy''': The [[meat]] of the [[Template:Geschützte UrsprungsbezeichnungDe|g.U.]] Lüneburger Heidschnucke can be kept in the [[refrigerator]] in its original wrapping for a few days. It can also be conserved in the [[freezer]] for a longer period. It lends itself to be prepared in various manners, but one of the most traditional ways to enjoy [[Template:Geschützte UrsprungsbezeichnungDe|g.U.]] Lüneburger Heidschnucke is to cook the [[meat]] with [[honey]] and with [[berry]] [[sauce]], [[Sweet and sour recipes|sweet-and-sour]], serving it with local [[potatoes]], [[baked]] in the [[oven]] or [[boiled]]. It is perfect with [[beer]] or full-bodied [[wines]].
