How do you guarantee the consistent professional quality of your METRO Chef veal?

Hello METRO,
how do you guarantee the consistent professional quality of your METRO Chef veal?

Veal is finely grained, particularly tender and has a mild flavour. Its light colour makes it easy for cooks to achieve the perfect degree of doneness. Because all cuts offer consistently high quality, METRO Chef veal opens up a world of creative possibilities for your menu. The high standards of our METRO Chef veal are based on long-standing partnerships with our suppliers and a shared commitment to delivering uncompromising quality.

Rearing – care as a foundation

‘The welfare of the animals is our top priority,’ emphasises farmer Erik van de Nagel. That's why we pay particular attention to care, transparency and respectful treatment of the animals during rearing. The calves, which are no more than eight months old, are reared on a special milk feed that gives the meat its classic light colour and distinctive subtle flavour.

Processing – precision without compromise

With 25 years of experience in the meat industry, Jan Willem Otterspeer knows what matters. ‘Quality is crucial for us and compromise is not an option.’ All animals undergo a targeted selection process, accompanied by continuous checks. The finely tuned production processes bring out the best in the meat and ensure a particularly high-quality product thanks to precise cuts and high hygiene standards.

Packaging – protected, tested, ready for the professional kitchen

After cutting, another inspection step follows: each piece is examined, sorted and labelled.
Depending on the cut, the meat is then packaged either in a vacuum-sealed pack or in a skin pack. This ensures that the product is optimally protected and ready for transport to the markets.

From the stable to the shelf: every step is carefully thought out. And that's exactly why our ultra-fresh METRO Chef quality veal is so popular with professionals.
