Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Historical link: This production of heavy veal calves results from the existence of the herd and long-standing production of cereals in the region. For example, rye (seigle) has given its name to the region: Ségala.
Link to the local region: the link with the geographical origin derives from:
A specific feature: the method of raising on mother’s milk supplemented by cereals from birth produces heavy calves; and
A reputation for quality going back to the 19th century for consumers in South-East France and the Paris region, and to the mid-20th century for Italian and Spanish consumers.
