Very delicate consistencyVitelco’s production method leads to meat with a very delicate consistency which can be described as tender, mildly flavoured and – due to the PALI Group’s chain-oriented approach – of consistent quality.Vitelco’s production method leads to meat with a very delicate consistency which can be described as tender, mildly flavoured and – due to the PALI Group’s chain-oriented approach – of consistent quality. Vitelco offers these guarantees. Within the PALI Group all the links in the chain are constantly inspected. Strict rules apply with regard to animal health and welfare. This creates entirely transparent, uniform production which allows us to guarantee the meat’s high quality. Every participant in the chain knows their own responsibility and contributes to the objectives. |

It is therefore seamlessly aligned with the trend for more conscious, healthier diets. The low fat content of Dutch kids’ meat makes it easy to prepare and that provides countless opportunities for culinary creations.
