Ternera de Aliste

Ternera de Aliste is the veal of cattle aged between 8 and 12 months, raised in Castilla y Leon. Depending on the production method, a distinction is made depending whether they are milk or pasture fed. Ternera de Aliste is characterized by its evenly distributed, pearly-white fat and a firm, slightly moist muscle tissue.

Its color ranges from light pink in the case of milk-fed animals to bright red in the case of the pasture-fed animals. The minimum maturation period for the meat is four days. Ternera de Aliste is very tender and juicy, with a delicate taste and smell.
