O Que É Veal Shoulder?
Veal shoulder is a versatile and economical cut from the forequarter of a young calf, characterized by a good balance of lean meat, connective tissue, and sometimes bone. It is prized for its tenderness when slow-cooked, making it ideal for dishes that benefit from moist heat.
"While often overlooked for more premium cuts, veal shoulder's inherent tenderness when cooked low and slow makes it a highly rewarding and flavorful option for braises and stews."
Qual o Sabor de Veal Shoulder?
Veal shoulder offers a delicate, milky, and subtly sweet meat flavor that is less intense than beef, allowing it to absorb accompanying flavors beautifully.
