veal stock

Young bovine base

Veal stock is a flavorful liquid made by simmering veal bones, often with aromatic vegetables and herbs.

Prized in French cooking for its neutral flavor and rich body, it forms the foundation for classic sauces like demi-glace.

The collagen in young bones produces exceptional gelatin, giving the stock silky texture when reduced: The recipe calls for two cups of veal stock.
