The Fresh Market offers domestic milk-fed veal every day. Our veal comes from American farmers in the heart of Wisconsin dairy country. But what is the history of Veal and why is it produced in areas known for dairy production?

Veal has been a popular dish in Europe, particularly in Italy, for many centuries. However, Veal was not popular in the United States until the middle of the 20th century. At the time, male Holstein cows were not useful since they did nothing to help dairy production. With breakthroughs in veal “formula”, or milk-replacer, the male Holsteins could be used in Veal production. Veal quality improved and the popularity of Veal spread quickly from Europe to the United States.

Now, high-quality Veal is found in specialty Meat markets across the country, including The Fresh Market. Whether your favorite recipe is Osso Buco, Veal Parmigiana, or Veal Piccata, we have the perfect cut of veal for your creation. Keep in mind that Veal is low in calories and saturated fat.
