  • About

This wild and very sprightly goat is an inhabitant of the northern Alps and Abruzzo. Its dark and very gamy flesh is treated very much as a delicacy in Italy and is particularly popular in the Aosta Valley and the Dolomites, where it lives above the tree-line high up on the hills at altitudes of 1,500-3,000 metres.

In Italy the hunting of chamois is limited because of its short supply, but frozen chamois can be bought from other countries. Although the frozen variety tends to be more tender it does not, however, have the wonderful flavour of the real thing. Incidentally, chamois leather is a by-product of this animal.
