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.
Wet-aging can offer the same tenderizing and moisture-retaining benefits as dry-aging, but that's about it. In reality, wet-aging is a product of laziness and money-grubbing. It's easy to let that Cryovacked bag of beef from the distributor sit around for a week before the bag is opened, allowing it to be called aged and sold for a higher price.
