From your METRO butcher's counter to your plate




You will find a wide variety of veal cuts in your METRO butcher’s counter. The cut you select depends on your chosen recipe.
Paying more for a tender piece of meat is pointless if your recipe calls for slow simmering.

The meat of milk-fed veal must be light pink, almost white. The meat of grain-fed veal is a little pinker than that of milk-fed veal.

The meat should always have a pleasant odour and be firm to the touch and elastic. The fat must be firm and white.

When buying veal, calculate 150 grams per person when cooking scallopini, brochettes, medallions or any other boneless cuts and 200 grams per person for stewing cubes or any other bone-in cuts such as chops or scallopini.
