UMAi Dry (DrybagSteak, LLC) is a Minneapolis-based company in the food and beverage services sector that has developed a moisture-permeable material used to dry age beef and dry cure meats in ordinary home or restaurant refrigerators. The membrane releases moisture while allowing limited oxygen to permeate, contributing to the flavor and texture characteristic of dry-aged beef and traditional dry-cured products such as capicola, pancetta, bresaola, and lonza. The product is marketed as bags designed for use with a vacuum sealer and is intended to prevent odors, mold, bacteria, and off-flavors from aging meat while shielding nearby foods from any effects of the aging process. The company serves home cooks and professional kitchens seeking to age beef or cure meats using standard refrigeration, with sales through direct channels and its website. Operating with a small team, it functions within the meat processing and culinary technologies space, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
