Veal





Veal has always been highly appreciated by connoisseurs.
Though today veal has become the healthy meat choice par excellence, veal used to be a symbol of wealth because only the very fortunate could afford to sacrifice an animal at such a young age to consume its meat.

Like the Italians who have always celebrated veal in their cuisine, all the connoisseurs are now looking for this tender, juicy and lean meat. This great demand explains the tremendous increase in veal production in Quebec over the last twenty years.

Veal can be prepared in numerous ways: roasted, sautéed, grilled or braised. It is particularly delicious in recipes that include herbs and spices, cream, cheese, apple juice or maple syrup. Veal is a delight that is easy to prepare and always a hit with gourmets as well as gourmands!
