Dry aging

As with everything in life, the golden rule applies here: a good result requires a good beginning. Choosing the right meat begins with choosing the animal breed and the way of raising them.

Dry aging as a meat curing process has a long history. Nowadays everyone talks about dry aged meat, not only chefs and gourmets make enthusiastic statements about the unique aromas of dry aged meat but amateur chefs and hobby barbecuers make dry aged steaks more and more frequently.

Why does meat have to be aged?

When the animal is slaughtered, biochemical processes begin in their meat. The lack of oxigen in the organism initiates anaerobic glycolysis. The result of this process is the so-called rigor mortis, the stiffening of soft tissues, that degrades their ability to retain water. The enzymatic processes of meat-aging begin only after this phase and in about 8 days these processes advance to the point that the muscle fibers soften up again. The appropriate aging time depends on the sex, age and breed. In order to increase flavor intensity the meat can be aged for 8 further weeks in proper conditions.

As a matter of fact all meat goes under these processes, poultry and pork too, however these age faster, 2-3 are enough for the muscle fibers to soften up. Also, hazardous bacteria, like salmonella can proliferate in poultry and pork, so aging them for too long is avoidable for hygienic reasons too.

Our steaks are aged for 6 weeks, so taste bud orgasm is guaranteed!
