About Vitela

Vitela, or veal, is a type of meat derived from young cattle, typically under 3 months old. Known for its tender texture and mild flavor, it is a staple in many cuisines, including Italian, French, and Swiss. Veal is often featured in dishes like osso buco, veal scaloppine, and Wiener schnitzel. Nutritionally, it is a high-quality source of protein, iron, and essential vitamins such as B12 and niacin. It is relatively lean compared to beef, making it a lower-fat option for red meat lovers. However, some veal cuts can still contain significant saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. Ethical considerations regarding sourcing and farming practices are common concerns with veal. Choosing humanely-raised veal can alleviate some of these issues. As with all meat, pair veal with a balanced array of vegetables and whole grains to create a nutrient-rich, well-rounded meal.
