Pearl Veal exhibits a distinctive pink hue, setting it apart from traditional white veal that is raised on strict milk or formula diets. Our calves thrive on a nourishing diet of fresh milk while enjoying the outdoors with access to natural pasture. This enriching diet contributes to a deeper rose or pink colour in the veal, as the muscles absorb essential iron during their growth.

Pearl Veal vealers undergo processing at 10-12 months of age, ensuring that it occurs before the connective tissues within the muscles fully develop. Animal welfare is managed carefully at all stages, contributing to the production of a tender end product.

Pearl Veal has a mild or subtle taste in contrast to mature adult beef, featuring more delicate flavours. This is due to its lower fat content and youth, resulting in less worked muscles and a more tender texture. The mild and delicate flavour profile complements dishes without overpowering them, offering the flexibility for both simple and complex culinary creations - it’s your choice!

Harvested at a younger age that adult beef, Pearl Veal has directed its energy in growth, allowing less time for fat deposition. With lower overall and saturated fat content, it presents a healthier option for you!
