“To banish veal for ever from our shopping list and our menu is to condemn potential veal calves to a heinous fate.”
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
If you use milk in your cooking or eat any sort of milk-based cheese, veal calves are an entirely natural consequence. Cows give birth to calves as part of nature’s cycle, both female and male. Female calves join the milking herd but male calves from a milking mother can’t be fattened for beef. Which is why buying British rose veal provides a viable alternative for British Veal farmers.
British rose veal means that the meat is pink which signifies a more active life and a varied diet. Quite rightly, the use of veal crates was made illegal in the UK in 1990 and in 2007 in the EU. Therefore, high-welfare, ethically reared English rose veal is from calves that have had an outdoor, free-range life.
Our Dorset milk-fed British rose veal comes from animals reared by specialist suppliers who always adhere to the absolute highest welfare standards.
All the animals reared for veal are housed in well-ventilated barns with natural light and straw-bedding. Thanks to our close relationships with the small-scale, local farmers we work with in Dorset, we can confidently say that our rose feal is ethically sourced and always prioritises animal welfare.
Our exacting standards mean that you can order from us in confidence, enjoying this incredible cut of meat without concern.
The dry-ageing process – which is one of our high welfare farming hallmarks at The Dorset Meat Company – isn’t applicable in the production of veal meat.
Veal cannot be dry-aged due to its leanness and lack of fat. As a result, it is hung for up to five days, and then hand-prepared by master butchers.
When you choose British veal delivered from The Dorset Meat Company, you are making a distinctive choice. British veal sometimes has a pink or ‘rose’ hue, which signifies a more active life and a varied diet.
Quite rightly, the use of veal crates was made illegal in the UK in 1990, and in 2007 across the EU. Subsequently, high-welfare, ethically reared British veal is always from calves that have had an outdoor, free-range life; making it a healthy food choice from sustainable farms.
Have a think about this. If you use milk in your cooking or eat any sort of milk-based cheese, then veal calves are an entirely natural consequence.
Cows give birth to calves as part of nature’s cycle, both female and male.
