Dry vs. wet aging! There are two ways of aging beef: wet and dry aged. Wet aged occurs when the beef is kept in a vacuum-sealed bag and not exposed to the air. During this process the beef sets in its own juices and doesn't loose much moisture causing the beef to be less juicy and have a wet taste. Dry aged beef is placed in an aging cooler with a controlled temperature between 35-38 and humidity of 50-60%.
Wagyu is a breed of cattle naturally predisposed to produce beef that is densely marbled. In fact, Wagyu beef surpasses USDA marbling standards for prime-grade beef. Often referred to as the foie gras of beef, Wagyu has an exquisitely tender texture and incomparable, luxurious taste.ll Kobe beef is Wagyu, but not all Wagyu is Kobe. To earn the appellation of Kobe beef, the cattle must be raised in Japan's Hyogo Prefecture and its production must conform to standards imposed within that region.
