When we think of the gourmet experience, it is common to imagine a perfectly plated dish, carefully selected ingredients and a presentation that seduces before tasting. However, it all starts before the chef gets down to work. The true gourmet experience is cooked from the inside, from the tools that ensure that each raw material reaches the table with its qualities intact. At Coreco Gourmet, we believe that the success of a gourmet kitchen starts with premium equipment with a solid technological base. and specialised as that provided by Coreco.
In this article you will find out how the premium equipment by Coreco becomes the best ally of the Horeca sector to ensure quality, flavour and profitability in each process of preservation, maturation or presentation of the gourmet product. You will also see how technological innovation applied to professional refrigeration guarantees a level of excellence that customers notice... and value.
Premium equipment: the less visible basis of a gourmet kitchen's success
Premium equipment not only improves work processes in the kitchen, it also directly influences the perceived value of the final product.. It ensures that each ingredient retains its organoleptic properties, that the meat reaches its optimum point of maturity and that the wine is served at the right moment. All this happens thanks to advanced technologies that work silently, but with millimetric precision.
Coreco Gourmet develops solutions in five key areas:
- Dry Aged meat maturation cabinets
- Refrigerated wine cellars
- Drying cabinets for sausages
- Temperature Chillers
- Combined equipment for integrated solutions
Scientific endorsement: specialised equipment as a basis for culinary excellence
The assertion that gourmet experience starts in the kitchen with precision technology is not just a commercial proposition, but a reality backed by scientific research. One of the most relevant studies on the impact of professional equipment on product quality is the one published in the journal Meat Science by Ahnström et al. (2006), entitled "The Dry-Aging of Beef: Review"..
This academic paper points out that the Dry Aged maturation process can only develop adequately in strictly controlled temperature and humidity environmentsThese variables require specialised and calibrated equipment to avoid both bacterial growth and excessive dehydration of the product.
Main conclusion of the study:
"The success of dry maturation depends to a large extent on the right environmental conditions provided by specialised maturation equipment. When properly managed, dry aging enhances flavour, tenderness and consumer satisfaction."🔗 Ahnström, M., Seyfert, M., Hunt, M. C., & Johnson, D. E. (2006).
The Dry-Aging of Beef: Review
The research reaffirms that technology is not an accessory, but the backbone of the gourmet transformation process.where the product is not only preserved, but evolves into a more refined, tasty and profitable form.
At Coreco Gourmet, we developed our Dry Aged cabinets with this scientific basis in mind: controlling up to seven essential parameters so that each piece of meat reaches its maximum potential. Innovation applied to industrial refrigeration thus becomes an ally of haute cuisine.

Advantages of integrating premium technology in the gourmet kitchen
1. Accuracy and consistency of processes
Precise control of temperature and humidity conditions ensures consistent results. This is vital for processes such as Dry Aged maturation, where a small deviation can compromise weeks of work.
2. Profitability and waste reduction
Thanks to technologies such as the Master Ageing ControllerThe meat loss is reduced to less than 10%, compared to the usual 15-20% in the market. This has a direct impact on the profitability of gourmet businesses, where the premium product demands maximum efficiency.
3. Sustainability aligned with European standards
The use of natural refrigerants, energy-efficient fans and an energy-efficient structure allows for regulatory compliance. F-Gas 2024reducing the environmental impact and securing a future investment.

Case studies: when technology drives excellence
Dry Aged Meat Maturation Cabinets
With models such as the DAV-200 and DA-750, our cabinets allow you to control up to seven critical variables to mature meat evenly, without risk of contamination and with a final texture that elevates the product to a level of excellence. The combination with salt blocks, forced ventilation and intelligent sensors ensures the unique safety and flavour sought by the most demanding customers.

Refrigerated wine cellars
From restaurants to boutique wineries, the DAW-400 wine cellars are designed to keep each type of wine at its ideal temperature. Their cooling system maintains humidity between 50% and 80% and ensures that each bottle expresses its true character when opened.
Drying rooms for sausages
Controlled drying with automatic cycle adjustment allows replicating traditional processes with certified food safety. This technology not only speeds up curing times, but also ensures that production is homogenous and replicable, which is key for artisanal gourmet brands.
FAQs on premium gourmet equipment
Why is it important to invest in specific equipment for gourmet products?
Because these products require very specific preservation and processing conditions. A poorly refrigerated wine or a poorly matured meat loses its organoleptic value, and with it, its commercial value.
What is the difference between a conventional and a Coreco Gourmet storage cabinet?
Coreco equipment is specifically designed for complex processes such as Dry Aged maturation or the curing of sausages. They do not only preserve, optimise and transform product thanks to advanced control systems.
Are Coreco Gourmet's equipment sustainable?
Yes, we use natural refrigerantsOur products include energy-efficient fans, LED lighting and recyclable materials. In addition, our entire range is F-Gas 2024 compliant, in line with European decarbonisation targets.
What after-sales services does Coreco offer?
We have a national and international distribution network, specialised technical advice and an official guarantee. We also offer training and specific documentation for each type of installation.
Can I monitor equipment from my mobile phone?
Yes, some models offer connectivity via WiFi or Bluetooth for remote control, history viewing and alerts, which facilitates HACCP compliance.
Without premium equipment, there is no gourmet kitchen.
Gastronomic excellence is built from the ground up. A kitchen can have the best chef and the finest ingredients, but if the equipment is not up to the task, the experience is compromised. At Coreco Gourmet, we develop advanced refrigeration technology that not only preserves, but transforms, optimises and enhances the value of the gourmet product.
Investing in premium equipment is not a luxury, it is a strategic decision. Relying on Coreco Gourmet technology is to ensure the future of your kitchen, your product and your business. Because when what is important is inside, the equipment must know how to take care of it.
