Whole piece of veal loin
Black Forest veal loin is ideal for quick roasting or low-temperature cooking. The cut comes from the back of the calf. By rearing and slaughtering the animals ourselves, we guarantee species-appropriate animal husbandry and the highest quality meat.

The characteristics of the veal loin
The veal loin runs along both sides of the spine. It has little connective tissue and, except for a light layer of fat, is lean . This makes it ideal for a healthy diet and particularly suitable for athletes.
Raising our calves
When you buy veal loin steaks from us, you'll always receive meat from our own herd or from our partners. All of them are based 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. Through short transport routes of no more than 60 km and stress-free slaughter directly in our butcher shop, we guarantee the highest quality while also protecting the environment.
