Not sure, I've always heard and read that pork gains nothing by aging but I don't know this first hand.

I've hung & aged cured pork for 3 months as a cold smoked pancetta before and even ate a bunch of it raw like prosciutto, it was delicious!
Uncured pork? I'm not excited about that... there has got to be a reason that the only pork you hear about being aged is salted or cured with nitrates & nitrites. Most pork we buy is packed in cryo's still hot from slaughter (ever get that sulphury smell when you open a cryo?) and the enzymes have already mushed most of the meat. If you were to slaughter a hog as in the article you posted and hang it at cold temps, I'm sure it would benefit as the writer's experience showed

I sell food and for bone in pork 21 days is the shelf life, I wouldn't try dry aging it. Beef had a 60 day life and therefore when aged in the right climate it tenderizes the meat well. I would not try dry aging the pork, much less letting it age too long in the cryovac packaging it comes in.
