Dry Aged Côte à l’Os Arouquesa

The dry aged Côte à l’Os from Arouquesa is a cut of beef with real character. During the aging process, moisture slowly evaporates, intensifying the flavor and giving the meat a slightly darker color. The fat layer adds flavor and helps keep the meat tender. This is a cut that needs very little—both quick grilling and slow cooking work perfectly.

What is Côte à l’Os?

Côte à l’Os is cut from the rib section of the beef and has a good balance between fat and meat. The meat is firm, with a clear grain and a distinctive flavor. Dry aging adds a rich depth with a subtle nutty aroma. It is suitable for both fast cooking at high temperatures and slow roasting in the oven.

The beef has a firm texture, deep color, and a full, natural taste. Arouquesa is not a mass-produced breed but is raised on a small scale with a focus on calm growth and quality.
