A classic Italian cut, Veal Osso Bucco is traditionally braised in red wine with garlic and aromatics. These cross cut shanks are netted beautifully so that they won't fall apart until they get into your mouth. You haven't lived until you've enjoyed the marrow from the center of these bones. Cut ~2" thick. Our delicious Rose Veal comes from animals raised outdoors on pasture, with plenty of room to graze and move around. They are never forcibly confined, as is common in conventional veal. Instead, these animals nurse from their mother until 6-8 months, and then enjoy a diet of grass and locally-grown grain (including hay and haylage, fermented grain). *Price per pound is an estimate for comparison purposes only.

OSSO BUCCO
The meat tasted good, but more like beef.

Recipe review - Veal Osso Bucco
Cooked 4 veal Osso Bucco just now as a Mothers Day dinner, following the G & B recipe. Some comments: basically excellent, beginning with the meat, which was first-class. The prep time is WAY more than indicated - just thoroughly searing four (or more) pieces of meat takes a long time. Allow altogether at least an hour's prep time, possibly more. I was a bit flexible with ingredients, especially the tomato-based additions - used some exotic ketchup and even some left-over pizza sauce! All worked well. The whole dish took closer to four hours in the oven before the meat was really soft. Finally, three lemons is far too much for the amount of zest needed for the gremolata!! But the end result was awesomely delicious!

Osso Bucco
We have had both the beef and the veal Osso Bucco. Both are just superbly wonderful cuts of meat, impeccably delivered! Take time and care over preparation, and they result in beautifully flavoured meals! Actually, each piece of meat may be enough for two people.
How Many Pieces Will I Receive?
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packages. Most packages contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packages will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packages of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
For red meat items and multi-pack poultry items, vacuum-sealed packages may be packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packages you'd like in the box, you'll make that selection under "Customize Your Order." Then you'll choose your preferred weight (that is, the combined weight of all the the packages in that box.) If only one choice is showing in a green box, you do not need to make any selection.
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packages, ~1.1 lb, and the price shows $39.99.
You’ll receive 1 box, with 2 packages of lamb chops inside.
Each package will contain 2 lamb chops. You’ll have 4 lamb chops in total. We always try to pack similar-sized items, but you may find that some chops are slightly larger and some are slightly smaller.
How Much Does It Weigh?
We use weight ranges in order to keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable for items with variable weights (for example steaks. Packages of deli meats which are not sold by weight range as we can pack them by exact weight). The ranges are as small as practically possible to minimize the variation between the Selected Weight and the actual weght you receive. Because of this, if the price per pound is shown as "price/lb*", the *" indicates that it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with the selected weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the potential weight variance for selected weights on our site:
| Selected Weight | Potential Weight Variance |
|---|---|
| under ~0.95 lb | +/- 0.15 lb |
| ~1 lb to ~3.9 lb | +/- 0.25 lb |
| ~4 lb to ~10 lb | +/- 0.5 lb | over ~10 lb | +/- 1 lb |
For example:
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~1.5 lb could weigh as much as 1.75 lb or as little as 1.25 lb
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~5 lb could weigh as much as 5.5 lb or as little as 4.5 lb
We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. Sometimes you will receive a bit more than the listed weight, and sometimes a bit less. Our customers find that on average they receive what they are expecting. But if you find that your actual weights in an order are all below the listed average, please snap a picture of the weight labels and send it over to us, and we'll be happy to make things right.
