Old Fashioned Original
An all-natural spice blend featuring cracked black pepper and sea salt is rubbed into thick, cowboy-style cuts of beef then slow-cooked for a minimum of five hours.
Old Fashioned Hot & Spicy
On the spicier side, the thicker cut and reduced moisture highlights the cracked red pepper and sea salt which frame the natural richness of the meat.
Carne Seca Limón
Initial notes of cracked black pepper and sea salt marry with the bright tang of lemon juice to enhance the natural flavor of the meat. It's all about the natural meat flavor on this one.
Carne Seca Limón con Chile
Initial kick of heat from cracked red pepper blends into the richness of guajillo chili powder, cracked black pepper, and sea salt and finishes with a touch of lemon. Our goal is to celebrate the natural meat flavor of the beef.
Tasting Kitchen Sriracha
The flavors that make Sriracha so special are highlighted in the flavor profile of this jerky - slight tanginess, subtle sweetness, and a kick of residual heat.
Tasting Kitchen Garlic Ginger
A savory blend of ginger, garlic, and sesame give this jerky a zip of flavor. The soy sauce binds all these flavors together to highlight the natural meat flavors, giving the snacker an insatiable experience. Black and white sesame seeds pull through the sesame flavor and give a nice texture to the already soft and chewy, steak-like texture of the beef.
Tasting Kitchen Sweet Chili Habanero
The first flavor to hit the palate is a bright fruit sweetness, almost tropical, that slowly accompanies the savory spice blend and the natural meat flavor. From there, the habanero heat slowly builds until it leaves you with a nice lingering burn, nothing overwhelming, but definitely present. The Sweet Chili Habanero is a sweet and spicy blend that highlights the citrusy, fruity components of the Habanero pepper and doesn’t shy away from the heat.
Tasting Kitchen Orange Honey Teriyaki
The first bite introduces a ping of sweetness and citrus from the honey and orange flavor. Continued chewing slowly brings through the more savory aspects of the Teriyaki sauce such as the spices and soy sauce. A subtle touch of ginger lingers in the mouth. Don’t be afraid, the flavor isn’t too “orangey.” With all of our jerky, we want the texture and flavor to still be meat-focused.
This box had so much to sample and we had a good time trying them all. Our favourites were the Carne Seca Limón, Sweet Chili Habanero, and Garlic Ginger. They really know how to flavour their jerky! I do want to comment on the freshness of some of the jerky. The texture and freshness of some of the jerky was apparent, but about half of the jerky we received was very tough and hard, to the point that I was convinced it had expired. The packages are labelled with expiry dates and all said they were good until next year. I know that some jerky is tougher than others so I'm not sure if this is the normal texture for some of their jerky. The packages were all sealed upon arrival, but it would be nice if the packages were resealable to help lock in freshness. Aside from the texture issues, I did think the quality was very good and love the variety of jerky they offer.
