Ossobuco – Product Description
Ossobuco is a classic Italian-style cut taken from the cross-section of the veal or beef shank, featuring a central marrow bone surrounded by lean, flavorful meat. The marrow in the bone adds richness, depth, and natural gelatin during cooking, giving sauces and stews a luxurious texture.
Ossobuco is best suited for slow-cooking methods such as braising or stewing, which tenderizes the dense shank meat while infusing it with aromatic flavors. It is commonly prepared with vegetables, wine, and herbs, making it ideal for hearty, comforting dishes.
