    A lot of food tastes the best a short time before it spoils.

    Fresh beef tastes good. One day old beef tastes like chewing on a rubber piece. Stored at the right temperature in a low moisture atmosphere for 4 weeks it turns into exclusive dry aged beef. One more week and it’s spoiled.

      Dry-aged beef has spoiled. The trick to it is that you need a fairly large piece, like a whole leg or side, and then you trim off all the bad stuff on the outside. More simply, they don’t butcher it then age it. If you go buy a piece of dry-aged beef it’s gunna act a lot like any other piece of meat but if it hadn’t been butchered you could just keep aging it beyond when this individual piece would have gone bad.
