Veal fillet in one piece
Black Forest veal fillet is ideal for pan-frying or low-temperature cooking. The cut comes from the fillet area of the calf. By rearing and slaughtering the animals ourselves, we guarantee species-appropriate animal husbandry and top-quality meat.

The properties of veal fillet
The veal fillet is placed on both sides of the spine. This fillet has very little connective tissue and, apart from a light layer of fat, is lean . It is therefore ideal for a healthy diet and particularly suitable for athletes, as it is low in fat and very tender.
Raising our calves
When you buy veal fillet from us, you'll always receive meat from our own herd or from our partner farms, also located in the Black Forest. The animals are raised exclusively on our own farm's feed.
Our philosophy is: If the animal is well, the people are well. Short transport routes of no more than 60 km and stress-free slaughter directly in our butcher shop contribute to the quality of our products while protecting the environment.
How to prepare a whole veal fillet on the grill – in 6 steps

1. Zone: As high heat as possible
2nd Zone: Only indirect heat from Zone 1 - Remove the meat from the refrigerator, season with salt, and after 2-3 minutes, place it in the hot zone. Sear on all sides until a roasted aroma develops.
- Place the piece in the indirect zone and reduce the heat of the hot zone as much as possible.
- Insert a core temperature probe into the meat.
- When the desired core temperature is reached, remove the meat from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Carve the meat across the grain and serve on warmed plates.
How to prepare a whole veal fillet in the oven – in 5 steps

Measuring the core temperature of the veal fillet
A digital probe thermometer helps you cook meat perfectly. Insert the probe into the center of the meat.
Tip: Measure the required depth by placing the probe against the meat and marking the spot.
