Wholesale Veal
All natural, humanely raised, grain-fed veal. A varied, nutritious diet that incorporates grains contributes to the rosy hue and robust taste of Le Québécois French-style Canadian veal. Grain-feeding results in healthier animals, more vitamins and minerals in the meat, and subtle marbling that increases flavor and tenderness.
In addition to wholesale cuts of veal, we offer other specialty bulk meat, including beef, lamb, pork, and poultry.
The Best Wholesale Cuts of Veal
Veal is meat from young cattle, calves typically under six months old. It is prized for its tenderness and delicate flavor. When it comes to choosing the best cuts of veal, much depends on how you want to prepare it. Our Wholesale Veal Chops are great on the grill, whereas our bestselling Veal Racks are ideal for oven roasting.
Here are other desirable wholesale cuts of veal:
- Veal Tenderloin is among the most tender and sought-after cuts, thus one of the most expensive. It is lean and mild in flavor and is typically served as a roast or cut into individual portions.
- Saddle of Veal includes both the loin and the tenderloin. Usually sold as a large roast that can weigh up to several pounds, veal saddle is considered one of the most tender and flavorful cuts of veal and makes an impressive special occasion entrée.
- Veal Rib Chops are thick and meaty cuts from the rib section. They are often served grilled or pan-fried.
- Veal osso buco is a cut from the leg, either the foreshank or hindshank. The rich, flavorful meat surrounds a marrow-filled bone. (The name literally means “a bone with a hole.”) Veal osso buco is typically braised and served with a savory sauce.
- Veal Sweetbreads are the calves’ thymus gland. Considered a delicacy, sweetbreads are often sautéed and served with a rich sauce that complements their creamy texture and delicate flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wholesale Veal
Because veal is produced from young animals that have been fed a specific diet, and because the production process is more specialized, it tends to be more expensive than beef. Additionally, because veal is often considered a premium meat, it may be priced higher in restaurants and specialty stores. However, the cost of both veal and beef can vary widely depending on factors such as the cut, the origin, and the time of year. Certain cuts and types of wholesale beef may be more expensive than certain cuts of wholesale veal, and vice versa.
Yes. The United States is one of the top producers of veal in the world. Veal production in the U.S. has changed over time. Many producers now focus on raising veal calves in group housing systems that allow the animals to socialize and move more freely. This has helped to address concerns about animal welfare in veal production and has made veal a more sustainable and humane meat option for consumers.
We have long sourced our grain-fed wholesale veal from Le Québécois in Canada. Grain-fed veal isn’t pale like milk-fed veal. Grain gives the meat a rosy hue, as well as more nutrients and a robust flavor. Le Québécois was the first veal program to combine USDA approved All Natural status, humane animal husbandry, full traceability, and sustainable farming practices.
Veal is generally more tender, pale in color, and has a much more delicate taste than beef. Nutritionally, veal tends to be leaner than beef, meaning it typically has fewer calories and less fat, but when compared to lean beef cuts like sirloin, the calories and fat in veal are about the same.
