Veal
Within beef cattle, meats can be classified according to whether they are white or red meats. The former refer to meat from young animals such as veal, while red meat is obtained from adult animals such as cows.
Within the variety of veal meat we can distinguish between veal and yearling. Dairy veal is the meat that we obtain from the youngest animal and that has only fed on breast milk. The color of this meat is pinkish white, a characteristic due, in part, to the fact that the animal has never tasted grass, which makes its meat more tender and with a delicate flavor. The yearling, on the other hand, is the veal meat that corresponds to young beef, that is, one that is between 10 and 18 months old.
