Northern Irish supplier Hannan Meats is building the world’s largest Himalayan salt chamber for dry-ageing meat.

The new chamber - five times bigger than Hannan’s first chamber, built last year in Moira, County Down - will contain 5,000 blocks of pink Himalayan salt.

Hannan had not been able to keep up with “incredible demand”, said MD Peter Hannan. “There’s just nothing else that compares with it for taste and tenderness.”
