Boned, rolled veal head meat, ready for cooking.
Testina is meat removed from the calf’s head, including cheek and tissues that become gelatinous when cooked. Boned and rolled describes the butcher’s preparation, not a guarantee that it is already cooked.
Buy the cleaned, boned roll and follow its cooking directions. In mixed bollito, cook it in its own pot of broth until tender all the way through; remove non-edible ties before serving.
Testina is a distinct component of Piedmontese bollito. It is cooked separately from the main beef cuts to keep its fat and cooking liquid apart.
The eight-person mixed bollito uses 500 g of prepared testina in a separate 3 L portion of broth. Slice the tender roll for serving, without treating the broth or ties as edible yield.
