Dry ageing

Safety information

PLEASE NOTE

• It is not important not to open the door much in order to avoid unnecessarily affecting the climate of the equipment/the humidity of the air.
• Have a butcher/expert whom you trust inform you about dry ageing.

Danger

• Only use meat that is suitable for refinement.
• Wear gloves that are suitable for contact with food if you touch the meat and the metal shelves or meat hooks.
• A hazard of dry ageing is “wild fungi”. Unlike “good edible fungi“, this can spoil the meat and cause toxic and allergic reactions. For this reason, make sure that you maintain impeccable standards of hygiene when handling the meat and the equipment and have a butcher/expert whom you trust provide you with comprehensive information about dry ageing.
• If you notice a sourish smell, this may be an indication of “wild fungi”.
• Once the ageing process has been completed, dark and dry patches of meat must be generously removed.
• Do not consume any food that has been superimposed on the meat, as you could suffer from food poisoning.

Exemption from liability:

The manufacturer will not assume any liability for damage to refrigerated products, not even in the event of a fault in the equipment during the guarantee period. The manufacturer will also not accept liability for injury to individuals resulting from improperly stored products that are subsequently consumed.

Information about dry ageing

The dry ageing of beef, pork, and poultry is an expensive process and requires time and ideal conditions.

You will be able to store good-quality meat on the metal storage shelves or suspend it on the meat hooks inside the equipment.

Check the meat regularly for the presence of wild fungi.

If the degree of ageing that you desire has not been achieved, remove the meat, divide it into portions as you see fit, and prepare it.

Various aromas, depending on the amount of ageing

• Depending on the meat used, you will be able to obtain subtle, nutty aromas after around 21 days.
• Depending on the meat, you will obtain aromas similar to those of fungi after around 28-35 days.
• Depending on the meat used, you will be able to obtain powerful aromas similar to those of blue cheese after around 45 days or longer.

The longer you allow the meat to age, the stronger the aroma will be.
