¨To find the organic veal, we go towhere it wass produced: Parral, 300kmfrom Santiago, in an open field where we learned about the animal and itssurroundings.That’s where we got the veal and the raw natural cow’s milk. We cook the veal in its own milk. Then it’s served with textures of burned milk, wild alfalfa -the veal’s food -from the Parralarea, andbranches that are infused with thefield’s aroma.¨
