Dry Aged Steaks in Riga: Where to Buy Dry Aged Steaks and How They Differ from Regular Steaks

A dry aged steak is marbled beef that undergoes a dry aging process in special refrigeration chambers with controlled temperature, humidity, and ventilation.

During dry aging, the meat loses part of its moisture, intensifying its natural flavor to a concentrated nutty aroma and becoming more tender due to the breakdown of muscle fibers.

What Happens During Dry Aging

Moisture evaporation: Water evaporates from the meat, resulting in a more concentrated flavor.
Natural enzymatic tenderization: Enzymes naturally present in beef break down muscle fibers, making the meat significantly more tender.
Flavor and aroma development: Complex flavor notes develop during aging, often described as nutty or “creamy.”

How Dry Aged Steaks Differ from Regular Steaks

Flavor: Dry aged steak has a much deeper and more intense beef flavor, with a pleasant creamy–nutty aroma.
Texture: The meat becomes more tender and softer than fresh beef.
Price: Dry aged steaks are a premium product due to the lengthy and complex aging process and strict requirements for high-quality beef.

If you’re looking for where to buy a dry aged steak in Riga, you’ve come to the right place.

Before aging our beef, we carefully select whole backs of bulls according to strict parameters:

It must be a bull, not a cow
The correct age and size
The beef must meet specific pH and marbling requirements

Only after this selection we place the backs into specialized dry aging chambers with controlled temperature, humidity, ventilation, and a specific mold culture that helps the meat ferment naturally.

We believe the optimal aging time is 65 days, after which dry aged steaks develop a unique flavor, tenderness, and a pleasant nutty aroma.

This technology has been perfected by our team over many years.
