JAN

Jan: a traditional Dutch name, but also a name with a rich history. Jan represents the family history of the VanDrie Group. It was Jan van Drie Sr. who, with the purchase of his first newborn calf, blazed the trail for the way in which modern Dutch calf husbandry now works, allowing us to enjoy the tastiest and highest quality veal. It is Jan who selects the calves with care. Jan allows his calves to grow in complete peace, and he gives them the best possible nourishment and care. After all, you can taste the good nutrition and care in the meat. That is why at Jan, we produce our own cattle feed. This allows us to keep quality and taste of our meat at a high level. Jan also guarantees that the calves are processed extremely professionally to make the finest veal products, guaranteeing food safety.
