Lamb fat is available in three grades, which are used for cooking and producing various goods.
- The highest grade of healthy lamb fat is made from a certain type of fat tail sheep. External properties: a solid pure white color, in some cases a yellowish tint is acceptable, when melted it becomes transparent. It is part of meat products.
- First grade. Its hardness is similar to that of the premium grade, in some cases a grayish color is allowed, when melted, the therapeutic mutton fat becomes transparent, made from raw lard (internal organs).
