Old Fashioned Style Gluten Free Hickory Beef Jerky - No Frills Tough and Dry Style Beef Jerky - All Natural, No Added Preservatives and No Added MSG - 2 oz.

I bought this based on a bad review. Paraphrasing here, but it said "dry, tough, all you can taste is pepper!" and I thought...perfect! Could be drier even, but they're great. Get some other brand if you want soft sugary jerky. Why buy peppered jerky if you don't want it peppery?

I had high hopes for this since I’m a big fan of hard dried beef jerky rather than the moist style you mostly get with brands like jack links. I also like spicy foods and put black pepper on almost everything I eat, however this jerky is so thoroughly imbued with massive amounts of black pepper as to make it virtually inedible. It’s neither spicy nor tasty , it just tastes of black pepper, huge amounts of black pepper. If you ground a pepper mill directly into your mouth it would more or less replicate eating this jerky. Rinsing it and drying it to remove any pepper residue from the surface does help just a little, but barely enough and still not enough to want to eat the 3 packets I sadly purchased. On the plus side the jerky is tougher and more chewy than the moist style but still not enough for my taste so overall this was a huge disappointment for me, I’d honestly return it if I were able to, and certainly won’t be buying this brand again.

Got a pack of 3, loved it. Finally a jerky that isn't super sweet and soft. Hard, chewy, and garlic central, all of which were exactly what I was looking for. Bought another pack of 3 and 2 of them were exactly like the pervious set, the last one I've opened is very different. Opened it up and got blasted in the face with sour dog treat smell. It tastes exactly how it smells, funky. Very disappointing because of how much I loved the other bags to get one that has obviously gone bad, well within the best by date. As a broke college student, I am not sure if I can trust getting more knowing I might be paying for more jerky that I can't eat. ='(

This jerky is exactly as described and precisely what I enjoy. It is dry as advertised. That's fine with me. I don't care for a jerky that has sticky pieces. Especially because I use my PC frequently and I don't want my sticky fingers to transfer to the keyboard. You won't have that problem this authentic beef jerky. The only problem that I have is after I devour one piece I can't stop. Once the taste buds and saliva glands go to work it is almost impossible to put down the bag. I move the bag to another room. I highly recommend that any jerky lover like me try this brand. There are multiple other flavors offered. I just purchased another three pack today.

Beef jerky makers have trended towards softer and softer jerky, resulting in a disgusting smelling and feeling slab of kind-of-tender beef jerky. I'd rather have a steak.This beef jerky is incredible. It's tough, it's flavorful, and it's not some beef tender substitute. It's real jerky - the type you have to put some effort into tearing away with your hand or teeth. Truly great jerky.

This has a great texture for an old fashioned jerky, nice and dry with a good amount of chew to it and a thickness that is substantial without making the cuts rubbery. Flavor wise, however, the Peppered jerky is a complete pepper bomb. Yes obviously the jerky is going to have black pepper on it, but this stuff winds up numbing the tongue.Also please note that the advertised unit price is INCORRECT as of 9/2/2020 -- the reported price is for 9oz of product but the order is for 6oz of product, resulting in a significant price difference of $1.34/oz.

I purchased this Jerky on a recommendation from a Jerky Website. Claiming it was old school tough.Bah, I chewed through it fast. My jaw wasn't even aching at the end.I want that tough as leather, trail jerky. The type you USE to find at AM/PM stores. A sheet of jerky the size of your hand that would take HOURS to work through. The good stuff, ya'know?I do admit, this stuff tasted good. But it was weak sauce.

Flavor is amazing, heat level is perfect. No comparison to any other brands. Protein per 1 ounce is almost twice the amount of any other brand.This is actual beef jerky, which means it is 'dried' meat. 95% of all other products claiming to be beef jerky are not dried at all. This is the real deal, and it is the best tasting.I have tried all the so called dried beef jerky's Amazon sells, this blows them all away by a million miles.
