The veal shank, also known as shank, is a select cut of veal appreciated for its gelatinous texture. This feature makes it ideal for preparing casseroles, stews, and braises, adding a special flavor to each dish. It can be sourced from the front leg or the back leg, with the latter preferred for broths and stews. Available in presentations of 500 grams, 1 kilogram, and whole piece of 3 kilograms, the shank is vacuum packed and should be stored at temperatures between 1º and 5ºC. It can be frozen for up to six months without issues. An essential ingredient in Galician stew, ensuring quality selection without the need for individual purchases. Originating from Galicia, Spain.
