Veal osso bucco consists of center-cut shanks sliced to approximately 2 inches thick, featuring a round marrow bone surrounded by tender, collagen-rich meat. When slowly braised, the meat becomes exceptionally soft and flavorful, while the marrow adds depth and richness to sauces. Known for its classic use in Italian cuisine, this cut delivers a delicate yet savory taste and a silky texture, making it ideal for braised dishes and hearty, refined presentations.
