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%.
When referring to beef, the word Wagyu is often used synonymously with Kobe. But actually the word Wagyu comes from âwaâ, a very old term referring to Japan. One of meanings of âgyuâ is beef. So Wagyu actually means âJapanese beefâ and can refer to several breeds of cattle, known for producing highly-marbled beef that is tender and flavorful. Although all Kobe beef is Wagyu, not all Wagyu beef wears the Kobe label. Kobe can only be used to refer to beef raised in Kobe, in the Hyongo Prefecture of Japan, renowned for producing the juiciest, most flavorful beef.
