Kid goat meat has a particularly refined, game-like flavour. Kid goat meat is perfect for pan-frying but also tastes delicious slow-cooked in a ragout or curry. The Pro Montagna kid goat meat comes from organic mountain farming and is cut up and processed locally by Zanetti butchers in the mountains of Graubünden. More information: www.coop.ch/kidgoat
