The meat used in our products comes from EU.

No. All of our beef jerkies are nitrite-free.

All of our beef jerkies are mainly gluten- and additive-free. However, some of our products can make sure the item is still on the ingredient list tab of the product page.

When you order via our online store, the products generally have a shelf life of more than six months, best before the date.

The legend tells our jerky won't last for long, but if you don't eat everything in one sitting, the dried meat preserves even without cold storage, at least until the best before date!

According to our research, the shelf life of our dried meat is 12 months from the manufacture date. This is marked as the best before date on the bag. Off the record, we have been snacking on dried meats two years after the expiration date... And we're still alive!

This is definitely one of the trickier questions to answer, as the answer demands some creative maneuvering, and where we answer that you can buy dried meat from us both during and even after pregnancy. There is no greater risk associated with eating our products compared to other meat products. Our products are manufactured in an approved production facility using approved methods, and all our products are tested in laboratories. Heating and drying is the biggest issue here.

Beef and red deer venison are dried at about 55 degrees for 14 hours.

The chicken meat is dried at a temperature of about 55 degrees for 12 hours and during the process, the temperature is raised to 75 degrees to minimize the Salmonella risk.

Pork Kassler and sirloin are dried at a temperature of about 60 degrees. We dry Kassler for 16 hours and pork tenderloin for 14 hours.

Yes you can! And we recommend to do so! Check out our instruction on how to make beef jerky at home. The instructions are in a video and text. We recommend using a kitchen plant dryer and, as a rule, a temperature of 50 degrees. Soy sauce works well as a marinade and you can add other spices according to your own taste preferences. There are many and different kitchen dryers that it is not possible to give precise instructions on time and temperature so it is urged to actively monitor the drying of meats in order to achieve the best result.

Absolutely! We offer contract manufacturing for beef jerky.

Our minimum production batch is 30 kg of raw meat. Due to limited cold storage capacity, we prefer the meat to be delivered to us fresh.

Pricing is based on the weight of the meat delivered to us. Contract manufacturing starts at €18/kg, meaning a 30 kg batch would cost €540. This price covers everything from the moment the meat arrives at our facility.

We take care of the entire process:

• Slicing
• Seasoning
• Drying
• Cutting
• Labeling
• Packaging
• Shipping

The contract manufacturing fee includes labor, seasonings, processing costs, and packaging materials.

From 30 kg of raw meat, you can expect approximately 10-12 kg of finished beef jerky.
