Découpe Tradition
For a blanquette de veau prepared according to the rules of the art, we carefully select cuts rich in collagen, combining shoulder, neck, and flank. This perfect balance between lean meat and delicately marbled cuts guarantees a melt-in-your-mouth texture after slow simmering.
Simmer these veal cubes over very low heat in an aromatic broth for at least two hours, allowing the fibers to tenderize and naturally thicken your sauce. At Allaert Meat, we prepare this meat with the precision of a master butcher to offer you a silky chew and a milky flavor of great finesse.
When you choose a cut of meat at Allaert, you're not just buying meat; you're participating in a legacy. Each cut is hand-selected by our master butchers, guaranteeing that only the very best reaches your table.

Hand-cut and precision
Our selection emphasizes the delicacy of the meat and an even color, hallmarks of consistent quality. Exceptional provenance and careful rearing yield a fine grain and remarkable tenderness. The result is an elegant, light meat, perfect for precise cooking.
We generally combine three complementary cuts: the shoulder for chewiness, the neck for tenderness, and the fattier, collagen-rich flank, which will give body and naturally thicken your sauce during cooking.
For a traditional blanquette, the meat should not brown. You need to blanch it: submerge the veal cubes in cold water, bring to a boil for a few minutes to skim off impurities, then rinse them before starting to cook them in your broth.
Allow a minimum of 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours of simmering. The secret lies in a gentle and constant temperature; too strong a boil could toughen the veal fibers instead of dissolving the collagen.
Store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator, between 0 and 4°C, in its original packaging. Ideally, cook it within 48 hours of reception to fully enjoy its freshness and milky taste.
It is even highly recommended. Stews gain in flavour when reheated. Let the meat cool in its broth, and only make the liaison (the mixture of cream and egg yolks) when serving the next day.
As a butcher, I recommend planning for about 250 grams of raw meat per guest. The meat will shrink slightly during cooking, and this portion ensures a generous plate, perfect for those who enjoy traditional dishes.
