Veau du Limousin

Veau du Limousin are suckling calves of the pure Limousine or Charollais breed that are slaughtered at an age of 3 to 5 months, and the carcasses weigh between 85 and 150 kilograms. Calves feed almost exclusively on milk.

The soil on which the calves are reared is deficient in iron, so the meat itself is uniquely white-pink in colour. The meat is finely textured and well marbled, with great muscular development and a creamy white fat. It is very tender, revealing its characteristic flavors and melting properties when cooked.
