Thread: Can you age meat after freezing?

I personally wouldn't age it quite as long.
Freeze thawing softens it up a bit anyway (never quite as nice as chilled unfrozen meat aged for 10 days).
We've all thawed meat and left it several days and it doesn't seem to do it any harm.
Once its been freeze thawed fluids leak out so you can't hang it out in the open to dry age like you can fresh meat.
Due to the breakdown from freeze thaw I would treat it more like mince and if it was very clean when it went in it would be OK but if contaminated by dirt, blood, unwashed hands, hair, dog lickings, dried fly blow, dairy products, old fridge food etc I'd be cautious how long I stored it at fridge temp ie more like 2 o 3 days only rather than the full 7-10.
