According to this site on food production there are two main types of veal production and probably the first would fit with "sorana". The problem with leaving it in the Italian is that it won't mean anything to English speakers. Best solution perhaps is to provide the explanation (young calf fillet or veal fillet) in parenthesis

"There are two major types of veal production systems in use throughout the EU. Almost all member states use a system in which the animals are fed mainly on milk and milk products and are slaughtered before the age of eight months" http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/news/ng.asp?n=70788-veal-...
