Flashcards

Profitability for Retailers
Features: Dry-aged beef is more niche and can command higher prices. Pros: Increased profit margins for unique dry-aged cuts. Cons: Slower inventory turnover and potential for greater loss due to spoilage or lack of demand.
Taste Profile of Dry-Aged Beef
Features: Nutty, beefy and richer flavors. Pros: Unique taste that is highly sought after. Cons: May be too intense for some palates.
Shelf Life
Features: Dry-aged beef has a shorter shelf life once cut. Pros: Wet aging can be prolonged due to vacuum-sealing. Cons: Both methods have a finite shelf life, but dry-aged is more limited post-process.
Dry Aging
Features: Meat is exposed to open air and aged for several weeks. Pros: Concentrated flavor, more tender texture. Cons: Expensive due to weight loss and risk of spoilage.
Wet Aging
Features: Meat is vacuum-sealed and aged. Pros: Less moisture loss, more consistent product. Cons: Less complex flavor profile compared to dry-aged.
Equipment for Dry Aging
Features: Special refrigeration units with precise humidity and temperature control. Pros: Allows for the dry aging process to occur properly. Cons: High initial investment and maintenance cost.
