The Aging Process

The aging process in meat production is a technique that enhances meat's flavor and tenderness through natural enzymatic breakdown. There are two main methods: dry aging and wet aging. Dry aging exposes meat to controlled air, reducing moisture and concentrating flavor, while also tenderizing the meat. Wet aging involves sealing meat in vacuum-packed bags, allowing it to tenderize in its own juices without losing moisture. Both methods require precise temperature and humidity control to ensure safety and quality, ultimately resulting in richer flavors and a more tender texture.
