Award-winning taste comes naturally to us
Good taste is something we share with the judges at the World Steak Challenge 2023! Danish Veal won three silver medals for their sirloin, fillet and ribeye cuts - a tribute to the expertise of our dedicated farmers. In this hard international competition, Danish Veal’s juicy and delicate appeal won the stamp of quality for world-class steak production.
Animal Welfare
To become a breeder for our Danish Veal concept, selected farmers must adhere to strict ethical requirements - as well as committing themselves to providing the best health, welfare, and living conditions for their calves. In addition, high levels of craftsmanship, dedication, quality and pride in good handiwork are a prerequisite to acceptance in our carefully curated breeding programme.
Food safety & traceability among the world’s elite
CHR-register
All Danish cattle are registered in a database called the Central Husbandry Register. The CHR is the foundation for the cattle traceability system I Denmark. The purpose of the CHR register is rapid infection detection, as well as tracking from farm to fork. Incidents and movement of each individual bovine is also registered. The calves wear an electronic ear tag, indicating the ID and ownership.
