>Butchers Guide to Veal
Good evening | 16th March 2010

|

1.
Shin
Known as 'Osso Buco' after the Italian dish traditionally made with
veal shin. Veal Osso Buco is a braising cut, similar to Beef Shin,
but with a much milder flavour, and a fine texture,
|

2.
Topside
The topside is cut from the hind quarter and is lean in appearance,
with very little fat or sinew. Our butchers prepare our Veal
Escalopes and Veal Stroganoff Strips from this cut.
|

3. Calf's
Liver
The best calf's liver is a light pink colour, as the paler it is
the more mild and tender it will be. We supply our Calf's Liver
pre-sliced for convenience.

4.
Loin
The sweetest cut of veal - equivalent to sirloin in beef - our
highly trimmed veal Loin Steaks have a delicious, delicate flavour
and are exquisitely tender.
|

5.
Belly
An economical cut from the underside of the animal, which is
excellent for roasting or pot roasting. Our Rolled Belly of veal is
cut from the superior thinner part of the belly and has a generous
layer of fat to help keep it moist and succulent.
|

6.
Rib
Our veal Rib Steaks and Veal 4-Bone Rib are cut from the sweet and
tender loin, with the rib bones still attached for extra
flavour.
|
|

7. Rib
Steaks
Like the beef equivelent, this cut is
particularly juicy and rich in flavour, but with a milder taste. It
is naturally highly marbled, with a central ribbon of fat that
gives a fabulous well-rounded taste.
|

8.
Calf's Sweetbreads
A genuine gourmet delicacy, Calf's Sweetbreads are cut from the
thymus gland located in the neck of the animal. OUrs are highly
trimmed and fully kitchen-ready.
|

9. Calf's
Cheeks
A little-known braising cut that is popular on the continent, our
Calf's Cheeks are skilfully prepared and fully
kitchen-ready.
|
|

10. Calf's
Tongue
Similar to Ox Tongue, but with a much more delicate flavour, this
is an excellent value cut for boiling.
