Kid meat is a red meat from young goats (up to 6 months old), with a distinctive flavour and moderate fat content, suitable for roasting, grilling and stewing, offering versatility and quality across different cooking methods.
The whole kid comes from a young animal, cleaned and prepared for cooking, including all its parts. It has tender meat with a smooth texture and a distinctive flavour, and is low in fat. It should be roasted slowly in the oven to ensure even cooking and preserve the meat’s juiciness. It is widely used in traditional oven-roasted dishes.

Kid is suitable for roasting, grilling or stewing, retaining its characteristic flavour and allowing for a wide range of culinary uses, from traditional dishes to contemporary menus.
Although both are meats from young animals, kid has a milder, more distinctive flavour, with a firmer texture and a lower fat content than lamb. It is a meat highly prized in traditional Portuguese cuisine for its tenderness.
The secret to preserving the natural moisture of kid lies in slow, controlled cooking. As it is a lean meat, it benefits from being marinated beforehand and basted with its own juices or cooking juices during the roasting process, preventing the fibres from drying out.
