Eating dry-aged beef is as sensual and satisfying as drinking well-aged wine. The flavors have deepened and mellowed. The taste is concentrated, an effect brought about by moisture loss and by changes in the meat itself. Natural enzymes in the meat break down the fibers, enhancing the taste with a delicious nutty flavor and tender texture.

During dry-aging, steaks are kept on racks in a special room with temperature, humidity and air circulation carefully controlled. The meat may lose up to 25% of its weight, which is part of the process of concentrating the flavor. That's a good reason why dry-aged beef is increasingly rare and more costly than fresh-packed beef.

About Niman Ranch

The Niman Ranch Story

Niman Ranch started in the early 1970s, when Bill Niman began raising pigs, chickens, goats, and cattle on eleven acres in a small coastal town, just north of San Francisco. He raised his animals using traditional, humane husbandry methods and wholesome natural feeds. Before long, Bill began selling his beef to local grocery stores while restaurants were asking to put the flavorful beef on their menus.

Today, Bill still raises cattle on his California ranch and Paul cares for his hogs in Iowa, but the Niman Ranch family has grown to include over 500 independent American family farmers. Whether they raise hogs, beef cattle, or sheep, they all share a dedication to producing great flavor using only natural methods.

All of us at Niman Ranch are committed to fulfilling the vision upon which the company was founded - to bring the finest tasting meat possible to customers while practicing the highest standards of animal husbandry and environmental stewardship. Whether you shop at our Online Store, buy our products at your local grocer, or enjoy them at your favorite restaurant, thank you for choosing Niman Ranch. It is your support that makes this vision a reality.
