What is Dry Aging?
Simply put, Dry Aging is the ideal way to produce the best quality out of any cut of beef. Top steak houses all over the world have used this tried and tested way of enhancing beef flavour for many, many years. To create this incredible end result, meat needs to be in a very specific environment to age naturally.
In the past, this has been a very difficult thing to do and was considered nearly an art form to be able to determine the right temperature, humidity, air quality and time. Technology has caught up so that anyone can produce the very highest quality of beef, right in your restaurant or home.
Tasting a dry-aged cut of meat is like nothing you’ve tasted before (unless you’ve tried dry aged meat in the past of course). The flavour intensifies and the texture is unbelievable. This is a must try for any foodie out there!
