Jerky.com Original Venison Jerky 3-Pack - Exotic Jerky High Protein, Gluten-Free, All-Natural Exotic Snack - Premium Wild Game Meat - Perfect for Hiking, Camping, and On-the-Go 1.75oz (Pack of 3)

Ok I bought this because I had a hankering for venison jerky. Saw them said why not and got the original flavor. It has a soft texture that will just disappear in your mouth and with a whole lot of marinaded flavor it very similar to a typical jerky you would pickup at any store maybe a bit on the sweeter side. Which if you love this perfect for you honestly its a good flavor. But... not for me I am more a texture eater I like a jerky you can gnaw on a bit, dare I say a bit more dehydrated. Also the marinade nearly overpowered any venison flavor which defeated the purpose because I wanted venison with a bit of jerky flavor. Its good if you like jack links but if you want something different then that try a different brand.

Everyone loved the elk jerky! Great gift will definitely order again

I am currently looking specifically for old school very dry so called exotic meat jerky to include in my trail mix. I haven't found that in any of the jerky I have ordered yet, including Jerky.com. That said the Jerky.com's Original Elk jerky is very tasty. It has a slight tang to it that does not override the taste of the Elk meat at all. It is as tender as Elk meat can be, like most wild game Elk meat does tend to be a bit tougher than cattle jerky. The pieces are quite large, only one of the three packages had multiple pieces. This is the kind of jerky I would definitely enjoy eating as a snack, on an afternoon casual hike, or camping with my family, when I had a family with younger kids, and a wife who usually was not into wild game. I think even my exwife would have liked this Elk Jerky. I rated the value vs price low even though I do understand the economics of raising Elk, Deer, and Bison. These animals just do not grow as fast as out beef cattle. However, I was likely spoiled by being with a group of game hunters more than 20 years ago who traded meat for services amongst each other. In the current trend of todays jerky consumer I believe this is an outstanding product, just expect the price to be higher than beef jerky. I do recommend Jerky.Com Original Elk Jerky

Jerky.com provides a great variety of exotic jerky's for its customers, and does so at a price point that is really fair given the difficulty that likely goes in to sourcing and producing its products. I've had tried the elk, kangaroo, and alligator at this point, and I went into each not knowing exactly what to expect. I thought that of the trio of jerky's I tried, I would the like the elk the most as it would be the most familiar; but that was definitely not the case. The kangaroo jerky is probably one of the best, if not the very best jerky I have ever eaten. I don't know if it's just that kangaroo in jerky form is that good, but I was completely taken aback by how genuinely awesome it was. The meat was tender, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly without it being over done, so that you could clearly taste the distinct flavor of the kangaroo. That flavor by the way is really delicious and unlike just about anything I've ever eaten. Its reminiscent of beef in terms of texture and muscle grain, but its more tender, ever so slightly gamey, and you can absolutely taste the flavor imbued by the vegetation that the kangaroo feeds on. Now with all the deserved compliments being said, I don't particularly care for the Cajun Alligator jerky and here's why... While the meat is prepared just as well as Jerky.com's other products, and the texture of the jerky was great, I think this is the one where the seasoning could be improved substantially. Being from Florida, I've eaten a fair amount of Alligator, be it in tail roasts, gator nuggets, or chops. In the particular case, the taste of the jerky is just dominated overwhelmingly by sweetness or whatever sugar is put into its preparation. Now, I am not an expert jerky maker or chef by any means, but I do cook often, enjoy spicy foods, grow my own peppers, and try hard to notice the nuance in different flavors. I think this jerky would be hugely improved by a reduction in sugar, and the addition of some extra salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and maybe some additional acidity via vinegar or citrus. (Alligators are everywhere in Florida, and Florida also grows a ton of oranges. Those could be incorporated into the marinade.) Even though I dislike this particular product, Jerky.com is still getting four stars because the effort that goes into the preparation of their products is very much reflected reflected in the quality of what it's customers receive. Their elk jerky is excellent, their kangaroo jerky is shockingly good, and if you don't like spicy foods, then the alligator might be for you. I just happen to think that in this particular case, given that it's supposed to be a Cajun flavored recipe, the jerky would benefit from less sweetness, and more salt and piquancy.

That it is very good. Elk jerky is amazing.

This was expensive and not good at all but I made it good. This is extremely ssaallttyy so bad you couldn’t eat it. I know jerky needs to be preserved with salt but it also needs to be edible. I opened all three packages and soaked them in cold water over night to release the salt. Added some onion and garlic powder pored the water out and dehydrated again the next day but for a short time. Now you could actually taste the elk and was delicious. The meat is good but their processing is not so much.

Excellent - Also is Lower Sodium, So even better

It was good but overpriced especially when you open up the package and there’s only three pieces of venison jerky for $10. That’s insane. I will not be buying this product again.
