The Cut

The quality of jerky starts with the quality of the raw meat. We carefully select and hand trim all elk cuts before processing to remove excess fat and gristle. Cutting whole-muscle cuts into even strips along the grain of the meat helps create more consistent thickness across the pieces. This precise cutting method helps the seasonings and marinades coat the meat evenly before slow cooking.

Texture Characteristics

We use whole-muscle cuts instead of chopped or re-formed meat and our elk jerky has a noticeable meat structure and chew. The slicing direction influences how each piece feels and breaks down while chewing. Some products differ in texture because of cut, slicing, marinades and preparation methods.
