Dry aging is a traditional process of meat maturation, in which whole pieces of the buffalo are stored under controlled conditions to enhance their flavor and texture.
The process begins by Buffalo meat in special cold rooms at a constant temperature and humidity for at least 14 days, and often even for several weeks. During this time, the meat loses moisture and enzymes are formed that improve the flavor and texture.
The result is particularly tender, aromatic, and juicy meat with an intense flavor created by the long aging period. It's important to note that the dry aging process is more expensive than other methods of meat aging due to the necessary storage conditions and the relatively short shelf life of the meat.
Overall, it can be said that the dry aging process is a valuable tradition of meat processing, which leads to an unforgettable taste experience for meat lovers and gourmets.
