The Gyro Loaf is 80% beef and 20% lamb. They are prepared in 12 pound loaves made to be cooked on a vertical broiler. As the Gyro Loaf cooks, the meat is shaved off for sandwiches. Traditionally, the sandwich maker slices off strips of the cooked meat when the sandwich is ordered; heats pita bread on a griddle or grill, and then serves the meat on the bread, topped with special gyro sandwich sauce. The Gyro Loaf sandwich is usually garnished with shredded lettuce and diced tomato. The Gyro Loaf is primarily shipped as a raw product, but it can also be shipped as a cooked product.

Gyro Patties are prepared with a beef/lamb blend, or can be beef only. The Gyro Patties are hoagie shaped with a standard seasoning profile or seasoning that suits a customer's specific profile. The Gyro Patty is an IQF product, Individually Quick Frozen.
