Custom Dry Aging for Beef, Lamb, Pork and More…

totera-dried-age-meatIf you have had the privilege of enjoying a succulent cut of meat at a quality restaurant, there is a good chance that you have already tasted the benefits of dry aging.  Totera Fine Foods is proud to offer custom-aged meats in our Maple store.

Dry aging is a process that allows the meat to become much tenderer, the flavour deeper and delicious.  It involves hanging or storing the meat in a dry, controlled environment to remove moisture, which concentrates the flavor.  The meat enzymes also play an important role, which get broken down, allowing this tenderization process to occur.

This process requires excellent sanitation, expensive climate control systems, and a thorough understanding of meat science. A system many stores are unable to offer. At Totera Fine Foods we are pleased to offer this service to our customers on premise. The customer will be educated on the process, choose their cut and actually see it being placed in the dry-aging room.

Happier Animals Make Better Meat

Happier Animals Make Better MeatThere are many reasons to buy meat from humane, sustainable farms: it is more nutritious, better for the environment, and better for the animals. Naturally-raised meat is also more flavourful and tender, which is why the world’s best restaurants insist on providing natural standards for their menus.

Totera Fine Foods carefully sources every new product for these reasons. Our farms go to great lengths to keep their animals safe and comfortable. They use natural, antibiotic-free feed, and they do not pump their products with water or preservatives. This approach creates delicious meat, which we strive to provide to our customers.

Every meat that we sell comes from a quality farm, and we know that our customers appreciate the results. Whether you are buying beef, lamb, pork or poultry, you can be certain that you are buying an exceptional cut. You will taste the difference, and in turn you will be supporting small, local farms.

Totera Fine Foods takes pride in offering the best, quality meats in Ontario.

Cook Your Meat Like An Expert

Cook Your Meat Like An Expert
At Totera Fine Foods, we want our customers to get the best taste from their meat. Try these tips to take your cooking to the next level:

  • Heat is an essential part of meat preparation. The heat source temperature should correlate to the thickness of your meat. Thicker cuts require less heat, as they need time to cook through. Therefore it is essential that you are familiar with your pan or grill’s cool and hot spots before you begin cooking.
  • Always let your meat rest for a few minutes after cooking. This will allow the juices to be reabsorbed into the meat.
  • Invest in a quality meat thermometer. An excellent cooking tool to help assist in meat readiness. A thermometer should only be left in a few seconds when using.
  • When cooking with naturally-raised meat for the first time, use light seasoning. Over seasoning can overwhelm the natural nuttiness and gamey flavour of this meat.
  • Oil your grill before placing chicken and other lean meats on it. Use oil with a light taste and a high smoke point to keep your meat from absorbing unpleasant flavors.
