Where to buy veal bacon online?

I just came across this product and thought it would be a great gift for my bacon obsessed husband, but I can't seem to find it online. I would appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks

    Three manufacturers now produce veal bacon: Swissland Packing Co., of Ashkum, III.; Catelli Brothers of Collingswood, N.J.; and Strauss Veal, Inc. of Franklin, Wis. SYSCO, the largest foodservice distributor in the country distributes veal bacon to the foodservice marketplace.

      Not sure you'll be able to find it online, but David Mosner's companies introduced veal bacon and pastrami a decade ago into the NY gourmet market - not sure if they are still making it anymore, though (it doesn't appear in their very full illustration of veal products). You could call to find out what they know:

        You could always make it. In Charcuterie there's a recipe for normal pig bacon. I'd just adjust as you see fit and cure a hunk of veal.

          veal is so lean, i'm surprised there is such a thing... did you try the d'artagnan website?

            They don't have it and neither does igourmet. But thank you!
