tastiest components of the meat and its amino acids, resulting in a more tender meat, due
to the breakdown of muscle fibers, and also juicier.
The dry maturation of the meat must always be controlled and supervised by an expert in
the field, who can make modifications to the factory settings under his experience and
responsibility. It is essential to know the process well and use high quality meat, to obtain
good results. It is important to know the origin and quality of the meat to be matured, as
well as to master the cutting and placement of the pieces to be used, it is also mandatory a
correct identification of each piece and professional supervision of the process.
Once the maturation time of the meat is over, the dark and dry areas of it should be

controller capable of maintaining the temperature in the appropriate margins, as well as
the relative humidity within the precise range, it has a continuous air circulation system,
with an exchange system with the outside for renewal of the interior air, equipped
activated carbon filter. It also has UVC light (optional) with automatic operation to
eliminate germs and bacteria, thus achieving a purer flavor in the meat.
The cabinets work by controlling the temperature and at the same time the relative
