You probably don't want to know what aged meat means. Many people don't understand it. BUT, One cures meat and it acquires better taste and is more tender by allowing it to "age" or cure right after the kill. The carcass is generally hung up and allowed to cure for anywhere from 1 day to a month at a refrigerated temperature which allows for the meat to dry out and break down, making it more tender and tasty.
