This week I saw for the first time Zwarble sheep in detail and up close. Strangely fond of black fleeced sheep. They are good looking and as my grandfather said "like a decent table leg on each corner, not coming out the same hole", good overall confirmation (good fleshy carcass) and very solid.
I have to say though, they are nowhere near the much vaunted, and the much venerated Herdwick sheep of the Lake District who in the last few months and after several years have achieved the PDO (Product Designated Origin) status - Slow Food at its European best.
If you were to buy both a Zwarble meat and Herdwick meat, the Herdwick would win hands down.
