Dry-Aging vs. Wet-Aging
So what is the difference between Dry-Aging and Wet-Aging?
- Dry-Aging is the industry’s oldest proven method for increasing flavor and naturally tenderizing meat. During the dry-aging process, moisture is drawn out of the meat in our state-of-the-art Dry-Aging Room (one of the few in the industry). This causes the beef flavor to become more concentrated and more flavorful. In addition, the aging process causes the beef’s natural enzymes to break down the connective tissue in the meat, making it more tender.
- Wet-Aging is aging meat in a vacuum-sealed plastic bag to prevent evaporation from taking place. Since the meat is packed in its own juices the enzymes will break down the connective tissues and make it more tender. However, because there there is no fluid loss (as there is in the dry-aging process), the flavor is not as robust as it is with dry-aging.
