As with everything in life, it all comes down to personal preference. I like Harley Davidsons more than any other motorcycle because I love the look and sound of them and the smooth road under me, so that's what I ride. That doesn't mean they are the best in the world. If I were 30 years younger, I would be strapped to the fastest Ducati on the planet and blowing through tires weekly.
The same thing also applies to jerky. Some people like it hard and chewy, or just hard and not so chewy. You know, so tough your jaw hurts before you've finished the first piece, and a bag lasts a month. You may like it soft, moist, and tender so you can savor the flavors, and yeah, finish the whole bag because that's how you eat your beef jerky.
Lots of folks are traditional beef jerky diehards. It doesn't matter how many flavors present themselves, these guys will always grab a bag of Original, Teriyaki, or Cracked Pepper. And I respect that because no matter how many flavors of ice cream present themselves, I'll always grab a Snickers ice cream bar.
And with that said, beef, bacon, and turkey jerky have come a long way in the last couple decades. While the traditional flavors are still available, there is a growing demand for gourmet beef and bacon jerky flavors today. This is why we currently manufacture and distribute eighteen beef and five bacon jerky flavors under the Smokehouse Jerky Co. label and for more than 90 private label clients nationwide.
Sure, we all have a favorite jerky brand and maybe even a particular flavor we are hooked on. This type of singular obsession can be good, but it also has the power to ensure you never get the chance to try another jerky brand and flavor that was created with you in mind.
As the owner of a beef jerky company, I should be spreading the word that we make the best tasting jerky in the world. While we believe we do just that, we know that just isn't the case and, not every person is going to agree no matter what we think.
]]>Every day I read at least one article that reminds me why we got into the beef jerky business.
Excerpt from the magazine CStore Decisions: "A 2018 trend insight report by FONA International, “Meat Snacks: Accelerated Opportunity,” points to meat snacks as the fastest growing snack food. Growing along with it have been form and flavor options."
Flavor options? Who knew? Today's meat snack consumer, while still loving the decades long favorites like Cracked Pepper, Original ad Teriyaki, are now looking for new flavors like Mango Habanero, Sea Salt Honey & Pepper, Peppered Orange Teriyaki and Pineapple Mango. And they are buying them up.
When we took over our company 3 years ago we have 8 beef and zero bacon flavors. Today we produce sixteen (16) beef and five (5) bacon flavors of our own. They are all very popular and the many choices from a single brand has been an important factor in our rapid growth.
]]>According to Project NOSH, which cited research from IBIS World, jerky sales exceeded $1 billion in 2017. Analysts expect this market to become even more significant in the future. The market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 4.2 percent through 2022. However, it's essential to note that the growth in the market isn't spread evenly. Certain kinds of jerky products are becoming more popular. Specifically, natural forms of jerky, such as the artisanal or premium jerky you can get through Smokehouse Jerky Co., and products labeled as organic, grass-fed, or produced without antibiotics.
Smokehouse Jerky Co. makes jerky that will appeal to health-conscious consumers like millennials. According to one 2017 study, nearly nine out of ten (89 percent) of millennials consumed one or more better-for-you snacks in the past week, and half of them drove at least five miles to purchase a snack they were craving. Having gourmet jerky can be a reason for consumers to visit a particular store location.
Another benefit of selling jerky from Smokehouse Jerky Co. is that our products have simple, easy-to-understand ingredients lists. Our jerky also only uses a handful of ingredients. Even with the exotic flavors, we offer, such as Honey Pepper Bacon Jerky, the taste is achieved using a handful full of natural ingredients.
In the study mentioned above, 64 percent said they looked for products with fewer ingredients, and 79 percent said they had more trust in a packaged snack if everything on the ingredient list made sense to them. Smokehouse Jerky Co. packaging addresses all of these concerns, which will make the product fly off your shelves.
The products produced by Smokehouse Jerky Co. are handmade using high-quality, natural ingredients. Our gourmet jerky even includes some gluten-free varieties, which is a growing concern for many consumers. The quality of our products make Smokehouse Jerky Co. stand out, and businesses that stock their shelves with our products will distinguish themselves with their customers.
If you want to stock your shelves with our gourmet jerky, we have great prices for wholesalers and distributors that make it easy for you to benefit from the jerky market boom. For businesses that are trying to build a brand, such as a health food store, we offer private label beef jerky where you can put your branding on the package.

]]>We're more than just a jerky company with a fancy name, and we take extra care to produce the highest-quality jerky around. To learn what makes our jerky so unique, here are the four things you need to make the best gourmet jerky.
Like all food, great jerky starts with great ingredients. While there are many steps in the jerky-making process, you will always be limited by the quality of the meat you started with. Even if you have a jerky-making process that makes mediocre meats taste good, the jerky would be fantastic if better meat was used. That's why Smokehouse Jerky Co. uses high-quality beef and bacon from U.S. farms to create our gourmet jerky. We begin our jerky-making process by selecting the best meats, which means a better final product than what you traditionally find on store shelves.
Most people think of jerky as simply being dried meat, but it takes a lot more than great meat to make great jerky. The best gourmet jerky requires natural spices and seasonings and at Smokehouse Jerky Co. we use unique spice blends to create traditional as well as unique, one-of-a-kind jerky flavors. Smokehouse Jerky Co. also makes 10 gluten-free jerky flavors so people with dietary restrictions can enjoy tasty jerky too.
The best gourmet jerky takes more than high-quality ingredients. It also requires the imagination and creative genius necessary to create unique jerky flavors people haven’t eaten before. Most people have tried traditional jerky flavors like Original, Cracked Pepper and Teriyaki, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to new flavor opportunities. At Smokehouse Jerky Co. we have more than 20 flavors of beef and bacon jerky, so you’re sure to find something unique and delicious. Tempt your taste buds with flavors like Peppered Orange Teriyaki, Sea Salt Honey & Pepper, Mango Habanero, Korean BBQ, Carolina Reaper, and more. If you can't decide which to buy, you can always order one of our sampler packs to experience a mix of flavors and you just may find the best jerky you’ve ever eaten.
It should be clear by now that we take great pride in our jerky-making process at Smokehouse Jerky Co. Our jerky is handcrafted, not mass-produced by machines. This method produces a better final product because more attention is given to the creation process. It also makes each batch of jerky unique since it's made by hand. Anyone who has tried handcrafted jerky will tell you it's impossible to go back to the mass-produced jerky afterward.
If you’re looking for the best gourmet beef and bacon jerky for your lunch bag or to stock your store shelves, be sure to give Smokehouse Jerky Co. the opportunity to earn your business.
We know what it takes to make the highest-quality beef and bacon jerky with many unique flavors you won't find at most food retailers or online. We also offer private and white label services, so you can get our jerky packed with your company's branding. Send us a message online if you have any questions about adding more gourmet jerky goodness to your life.
]]>Most of the jerky you find on store shelves is made from beef. However, the principles of turning meat into jerky work for any kind of meat, not just beef. An excellent example of a non-beef jerky is the bacon jerky you can get from Smokehouse Jerky Co. Our bacon collection is gourmet from start to finish, and there are five amazing, gourmet flavors from which to choose. The flavors are Applewood Smoked, Honey Pepper, Maple, Sriracha, and Western Barbecue. If you can't decide on just one, we also have a sample pack you can buy. Now you can always have bacon on the go without carrying a frying pan.
Though most jerky is made from beef, not all beef jerky is created equal. The beef jerky at Smokehouse Jerky Co. is made from high-quality brisket beef and has gourmet seasonings for a flavor that can’t be beat. We have 16 amazing flavors including our Peppered Orange Teriyaki, Sea Salt Honey & Pepper, Mango Habanero, Korean BBQ, Carolina Reaper, Carne Asada and many more. Our beef jerky has received raving reviews from those who’ve eaten it, and you can’t go wrong with any of our flavors. Be sure to read the description of the flavor because some of them are as hot as a flame-thrower. To add a little surprise to your jerky buying experience, test drive one of our sample packs. We send you 12 randomly selected flavors of gourmet beef jerky from Smokehouse Jerky Co.
Consumers with food allergies and intolerances have to be careful with the products they buy from retailers. Many food producers don’t understand the needs of people with special conditions but we do. At Smokehouse Jerky Co. we know that many consumers are trying to reduce or eliminate gluten from their diet. We currently produce, in a combination of beef and bacon, 10 gluten-free flavors. We even made a section of our store that’s devoted to showcasing which of our products are suitable for consumers with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance. If you know someone that needs gluten-free jerky, please let them know Smokehouse Jerky Co. wants them to enjoy gourmet jerky too.
One of the most popular flavors of jerky is Teriyaki. These marinated jerkies have a robust flavor that makes them a more flavorful choice when compared to ordinary beef jerky. At Smokehouse Jerky Co. we have three flavors of Teriyaki beef jerky, including one that's gluten-free. Besides the traditional soy-based Teriyaki flavor, we also produce Teriyaki jerky that infuses new tastes. Our Tropical Fusion Teriyaki-flavored jerky uses mango and pineapple flavors. Additionally, we have a Peppered Orange Teriyaki jerky that's also gluten-free. You can't go wrong with any of our Teriyaki beef jerky flavors.
As we said at the outset, not all jerky is created equal. I hope you can see what sets Smokehouse Jerky Co. ahead of the competition. If you’re ready to try quite possibly the best jerky you will ever eat, then browse the selection in our online store. We’re certain you’ll find something that you’ll love. If you’re interested in stocking your store shelves with our products, take a look at the wholesale and distribution information on our website.
]]>Once I tried some store bought jerky I immediately understood and swore off jerky unless it was homemade. Well, that did not work for me as I kept giving it another chance by always trying new jerky brands I would find. Well, I found a jerky that is just as good (better) than the stuff we made at home.
My wife and I purchased Smokehouse Jerky Co. almost two years ago when we tasted the jerky for the first time. Since that time it has been a whirlwind of activity and exponential growth.
Jerky, or I should say some of it, has evolved into superior products that standout in a very crowded space. Small batch, gourmet jerky is becoming the norm and easier to find. Used to be you had to hunt it down and sometimes find exactly what you want where now you can get it almost everywhere.
We recommend, to everyone, they try new brands on the market or at least brands you haven't tasted before. Look for the higher quality products made with good beef from America and an ingredient panel you can pronounce. Search for the flavors you would like to see in a jerky and you just may find exactly what you want. If not, someone will be making it soon enough.
