Alpaca is a major meat animal in the higher elevations of the Andes and alpaca meat is sold in the fine restaurants of Peru. Now it is also found in the fine restaurants here in the U.S., like the three 5Seasons locations around Atlanta and at Holy Taco in Grant Park. Alpaca meat is like pork without the pig. An alpaca chop will have a very similar texture as a pork chop but with a mild sweet flavor. It is a lean meat and has the lowest cholesterol of any meat you’ll find, even skinless chicken. As with all grassfed meats, it’s best cooked medium rare.
