Mountain Lamb is a well kept culinary secret and Comeragh Mountain Lamb has it's own unique story.
William Drohan is currently farming in Comeragh, Co Waterford where he lives with his wife Bridget and young family. He is the sixth generation of his family to herd sheep in the Comeragh Mountains. From the age of ten, William had a passion for shepherding sheep. This interest was developed and nurtured by his family who passed on their tradition, skill and experience to him, that they in turn had learned from their ancestors.
Comeragh Mountain Lamb owned and run by William Drohan and Aidan Dunwoody of Kilrossanty won the Santa Rita/ LIFE Magazine Irish Restaurant Local Food Hero Award 2012 at the recent Awards Ceremony held in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin. It is the biggest and most prestigious food award event in the country and is organised by Sunday Independent and the Restaurants Association of Ireland.

"I had Comeragh lamb served three ways, braised shoulder with parsnips, loin with spinach and fillet with aubergine caviar. Cracking stuff!"
