The word "schnitzel" is derived from "cut" and so the veal schnitzel is also cut nice and thin. With the quality of our calves, pounding the schnitzel is unnecessary, but can increase the already great tenderness of the meat.
Meat knowledge
The imperial cut, or thick flank steak, is, as the name suggests, something very special. You could say it is the most sought-after cut of beef. The meat is an absolute hit, especially when it comes to making wonderfully juicy schnitzels or cordon bleu.
What makes the thick flank steaks so special?
. Lean, fine-grained and uniform in texture, these are the characteristics that best describe the thick flank cutlet. This makes it easy to handle and guarantees an optimal result.
Veal, with its tender meat structure, is particularly popular with our customers. It is considered one of the highest quality meats. In addition to the lean meat, it is particularly attractive due to its high vitamin and mineral content.
The thick flank of veal
The topside of the veal is cut from the hindquarter. The coveted imperial cut from the topside is the best cut of the leg. It is generally an extremely lean, finely fibred and evenly textured cut. It has very little fat or fibre and should be cooked very briefly to avoid drying out. The skin should be removed when slicing and can be used in stews or ragouts.

Herkunft und Haltung
Fitmeat prioritises the highest quality and species-appropriate animal husbandry. That's why 100% of the animals come from small farmers in Austria.
We only process calves (also known as heifers) or steers and deliberately avoid meat from young bulls or steers.
The cattle are around 2 - 2.5 years old and come from the Black-Angus, Red-Angus, Charlois, Limousin or Simmental breeds. In addition, our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that they are born, reared, slaughtered and cut up 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria.
Our farmers are based in the Salzkammergut and Salzburger Land regions. Stress-free slaughtering takes place either on the farm or at a nearby butcher.
We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This ensures that we receive first-class, well-hung meat that doesn't leave any water when roasted and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
