Project description

OPTIDRYBEEF wanted from the butchery sector and the meat sector in the sensory added value of dry-ripened high-quality beef and the supply of dry-ripened meat. There is no unambiguous definition of 'dry aging' of dripping and this is of concern to the sector.
Within this project, in particular, dry-ripened beef suppliers (sleepers, catering establishments, (large) distributors, abattoirs / cutting plants, meat wholesalers) and the manufacturers and suppliers of cooling and drying plants, additional knowledge and valorisation opportunities will become qualitatively dry. The user group is composed of 10 Flemish companies, of which 8 are SMEs. The various links in the value chain are: slaughterhouses, cutting plants, wholesalers, slag, retailers and constructors of installations.
