When meat is frozen, ice crystals develop that result in less moist meat when thawed.

At Chop Box we want to provide a fresh from the butcher experience from the comfort of your own home. To learn more about why we choose fresh over frozen visit the Why Fresh? Page.

Dry-aging meat is a process that exposes temperature controlled air to the protein for several weeks. This exposure allows enzymes to break down fat and muscle fibers making the meat more tender. It also slowly dehydrates the meat changing the texture as well as providing a richer flavor profile.

Wet-aging meat is another method to break down the muscle fibers making the meat more tender. Utilizing the protein’s own enzymes allows the cell walls to break down offering you a consistent juicy eating experience.  

The outer box is cardboard and can be recycled along with the inter climacell wall (bio-based insulation). The cold packs we use can be recycled once the package is cut and the gel contents has been removed. To learn more about our packaging visit the Sustainable Packaging Page.

The cardboard box and ClimaCell insulation are 100% curbside recyclable. The gel packs are re-usable - put them back in the freezer and use on your next day at the beach or camping trip. If you wish to dispose of the gel packs, once they have melted, cut one corner of the bag and dispose of the contents in the trash. The gel pack bag can then be recycled curbside.
