Definition of wet aging WET AGING: Aging beef that has been vacuum packaged (sometimes referred to as âvacuum agingâ). Temperature and time conditions are the same as for dry aging, but because the product is in a vacuum package, humidity and airflow are not critical. Once the vacuum package is opened, however, any further aging is done under the same conditions as those of dry aging.
