Italian veal head dumplings are the cheeks of the calf, they come from the lower jaw and have a high proportion of connective tissue, so they should be braised for a long time.
The veal comes from female or male animals aged five to eight months. It is very fine-grained and low in fat and therefore easy to digest and wholesome. The high-quality pink to reddish veal is not only tender and juicy, but also has a unique taste. Pieces from the forequarter are ideal for braising, the even more noble pieces from the hindquarter for quick frying.
The dish has experienced something of a renaissance in recent years as more and more people are interested in slow food and the use of whole animals.In many modern restaurants and taverns, calf cheeks is now offered as a gourmet dish that takes up the tradition of sustainable and respectful animal use.Another interesting aspect of the history of this dish is the cultural significance it has in different countries.In many regions of Europe, especially in France, Italy but also in Switzerland, similar dishes are also popular, which shows how deeply rooted the tradition of offal and by-products is in European cuisine. In Switzerland, the dish is often accompanied by side dishes such as potatoes and vegetables, making it a popular choice for a hearty and nutritious meal.Due to the rediscovery of traditional cooking skills and the increasing popularity of regional products, the dish "calf cheek" is finding more and more recognition and space on the menus of modern kitchens.
