Description
Marica Egidio and co-authors study how wet aging changes goat meat from Italian local breeds. Their 2025 paper compares three native breeds with the Saanen, a widely raised breed, all kept in southern Italy. Goat meat is rich in protein and healthy fats, yet it is little eaten in Europe.
Kids were slaughtered young, and two cuts were vacuum-aged in the cold for a week. Samples were checked at the start, mid-way, and end for nutrition, texture, and taste traits. Breed was the main driver of quality, while aging mainly improved texture traits in one cut. One native breed showed the best fat profile on health indices. The work supports local breeds as a source of quality meat worth promoting.
