Additionally, at NYCWFF, the Trusted Veal from Europe team will participate in the Taste of Italy event and Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits Trade Day and Grand Tasting.

“Veal has been featured in the most renowned European fine dining experiences for decades, and that popularity presents many opportunities for American foodservice operators.” Van Beurten said. “Presenting veal at these trend-setting culinary events is quite an honor.”
