LIMOUSIN VEAL T-BONE STEAK
In many countries, including the UK, veal production is closely linked to the dairy industry; male dairy calves cannot produce milk and are often considered unsuitable for beef production.
With high, regular rainfall, plentiful sunshine and soil rich in organic substances that provide exceptional grazing, the land in Limousin is particularly well suited to extensive cattle farming. This is why livestock breeding has been the main agricultural activity since the 17th century, using land poorly suited to cereal farming.
Red Label Limousin veal calves, mainly the Limousin bread, are reared "under their mother". They are fed on their mother's milk until they are 3 to 51/2 months old, suckling directly from her twice a day. Maternal milk must make up at least 85% of the calf's diet; a limited amount of approved, controlled supplements may be added. This method of rearing the livestock demands time, patience and know-how to ensure the calf suckles the right amount of milk morning and night. This traditional form of production gives the meat its flavour and soft texture. The Label Rouge quality mark and a Protected Geographical Indication protect it.
The meat is tender and melt-in-the-mouth, with an excellent, marbled texture. It has a characteristic nutty flavour.
The steaks are cut here in the UK and then rapidly frozen to -28° in a matter of minutes. This process offers two significant advantages, one being zero food waste and the other helping to keep the meat in fantastic condition. Red meat naturally discolours after a few hours, so blast-freezing is the ultimate way to keep the steak as fresh as it is when first cut.
