Penfolds family Butchers - Single and double lamb chops

A Barnsley chop is a cross-section taken from right across the lamb’s loin. This produces a double-sided chop with a bone in the middle and a little fillet underneath. Since it’s cut across the saddle, it’s sometimes referred to as a saddle chop. Double rib chops yield a thicker piece of meat than single chops, and are more forgiving with cooking time if you like your lamb rare or medium rare.
