Our state-of-the-art dry ageing meat fridge is the heart of our commitment for premium quality and locally sourced meat. Specially designed for the controlled dry ageing of prime cuts, the fridge maintains optimal temperature, humidity, and air circulation to create the perfect environment for ageing meat to perfection.
Over time, moisture is drawn out of the meat, intensifying its natural flavour while the enzymes tenderize the cut, resulting in a rich, buttery texture and deep umami taste that’s truly unmatched. Visible to diners, our fridge is not only a culinary tool but also a centerpiece of craftsmanship, showcasing our dedication to the art of ageing meat with integrity and care.
