Our capretto (suckling goat) is prized for its delicate flavour, tender texture, and light, clean taste. These young goats range from 3–10 kg on average, all under 12 kg, and are perfect for home cooks and chefs looking for a premium alternative to lamb or beef. At $20 per kg dressed weight, capretto offers beautiful eating quality that suits both traditional and modern dishes.

Capretto is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. For a classic roast, season with garlic, rosemary, lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper, then slow roast until the meat is juicy and falling off the bone. It pairs wonderfully with roasted potatoes, pumpkin, and a fresh garden salad.

For Mediterranean flavours, try a Greek-style capretto with oregano, thyme, tomatoes and olives, finished with a squeeze of lemon. Italian cooks love braising capretto with white wine, carrots and celery to create a rich, comforting ragu served over pasta or creamy polenta.

In South Asian cooking, capretto shines in fragrant curries and kormas, gently simmered with ginger, turmeric, coriander and garam masala. Middle Eastern dishes often feature slow-cooked goat with rice, almonds and dried fruits, perfect for family feasts and special occasions.

You can also barbecue capretto – marinate pieces with chilli, paprika and garlic for tender skewers, or cook chops hot and fast for a smoky, succulent result. Because the meat is naturally lean and mild, it absorbs spices and marinades beautifully.
