White or red meat? Both my general! Logically, veal belongs to the category of red meats like beef. However, you should know that myoglobin, a pigment rich in iron, gives its red color to meat, and that it appears during prolonged efforts requiring the muscles. The youngest calves feed exclusively on mother's milk, which is low in iron, which limits the production of myoglobin and keeps their flesh very white. Thus, the more a calf has grown and diversified its diet while roaming, the more its meat will be pink to red.

The veal nut corresponds to the internal muscle of the thigh: a very tender piece of veal with a very fine grain. We generally make nice, large escalopes to fry. Particularly tasty and soft, veal can also be enjoyed sliced, skewered, cooked or roasted. The finesse, delicacy and softness, characteristics of this meat, are ideally preserved by tasting it barely pink.
Slicing through the back of the shank produces a more generous meat, which melts after cooking, with a central bone rich in marrow. Each piece weighs around 200g, which corresponds to 5 individual portions ready to cook. Made from French veal, these 5 pieces of osso bucco are carefully cut and vacuum-packed for optimum preservation.

These elephant ear veal cutlets are thin, wide veal cutlets, sliced from the veal loin by our experienced butchers and then flattened. They are called elephant ears because of their wide, flattened shape, which resembles an elephant's ear.
They are tender and flavourful, as they come from a muscle that is not used much. They can be pan-fried, grilled or breaded, Milanese style, and are quick to cook over high heat. They go well with light sauces, mushrooms, or side dishes such as pasta or sautéed vegetables.
