Buying & Storing Veal
Buying Veal
Choose packages that are cold, tightly wrapped and without punctures or tears. Do not purchase packages that have excessive juice. Remember that there is a proper way to cook each different cut of veal for maximum flavor and tenderness. Be sure to purchase cuts that require cooking methods with which you are comfortable.
Storing Veal
Refrigerate veal in the coldest section of the refrigerator. It is recommended that you cook the veal within 1-2 days after purchase.
If you intend to freeze veal for a long period of time it's a good idea to wrap the original packaging with airtight freezer wrap or place it in an airtight freezer bag. This prevents freezer burn which all meats are susceptible to. Frozen veal should be used within 3-4 months.
