Salt-aged Beef
All Hannan’s beef is salt-aged in their Himalayan Salt Chamber located in Moira, Co. Down. A 12ft wall of 1,000 Himalayan rock salt bricks are used to dry-age the meat. The translucent salt blocks, which vary in colour from white to orange and myriad of shades of pink, were imported from mines in the foothills of the Himalayas in Pakistan’s Punjab region.
Himalayan salt is exceptional in terms of purity and its flavour-enhancing qualities, so our salt wall creates the perfect environment for the ageing process.
Over a period of 28–45 days, it concentrates the flavour of the meat, seals the natural juices and purifies the air in the room, producing totally unique, sweet, flavoursome and multi-award-winning beef.
