Veal shank
Succulent veal shank – traditional enjoyment in premium halal quality
Our fresh veal shank is the ultimate cut of meat for those who invest time and love in their cooking. Whether as a whole shank or sliced into rounds, it is characterized by a high proportion of connective tissue and valuable marrow bones. Slowly braised, this tissue transforms into tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat and a wonderfully rich sauce.
Why our veal shank is the best choice:
-
100% Halal certified: Purity and ethical slaughter are our promise. Every ham hock comes from strictly controlled Halal production.
-
Marrow bones as flavor carriers: The marrow inside the bone melts during cooking, giving the sauce a depth and creaminess that cannot be achieved with any other cut of meat.
-
Especially tender: Because the meat comes from veal, it is significantly finer and milder than the shank of a fully grown cow. It becomes incredibly tender when braised and practically falls off the bone.
-
Rich in collagen: Veal shank is rich in natural collagen, which makes it valuable not only in terms of taste, but also in terms of health (for joints and skin).

Inspiration from the kitchen
Veal shank is the star in hearty, upscale cuisine:
-
Ossobuco alla Milanese: The Italian classic! The shanks are braised in white stock, tomatoes and wine (or grape juice substitute) and traditionally served with gremolata (lemon zest, garlic, parsley).
-
Oriental braised dish: Slowly cook chickpeas, saffron, onions and raisins in the tagine until the marrow comes out of the bone.
-
Nutrient-rich broths: The ham hock is the perfect base for hearty soups and stocks that require a natural thickening.
Our preparation tip: When preparing shank slices (ossobuco), lightly score the outer silverskin of the slices in 2-3 places. This prevents the meat from curling up while frying and ensures that the slices lie flat in the pot and cook evenly.
Important note regarding the illustration
Natural product: As this is a natural product, the size of the shanks and the proportion of marrow bone naturally vary. The product images are serving suggestions and show the shank prepared. The product is delivered fresh and vacuum-packed.
