An idea came to me….you can cut the culotte first and then place it exactly where you cut it from and then age the entire thing, that way it wouldn’t be to hard to find each part of the meat.
Let me know what your thoughts are on this, Thanks!

Ben, that actually is not a good idea from food safety standpoint. In the cutting off you are likely to introduce bacteria and then pressing to meat back together will possibly leave air pockets leading to spoilage. I believe it was toasty who tried something similar and had to pitch the whole thing when it turned rancid.
Now OTOH there is nothing wrong with cutting it off and then using two smaller bags to age the pieces separately. Ron
