Savage Jerky is the best I’ve ever had

Savage Jerky

It’s been almost a year since I heard about Savage Jerky for the first time.  They sponsor a streamer that I subscribe to on Twitch.TV and I watched that person (CrReam) open up some packages of jerky and sample them while describing how good they tasted.  I was sort of a skeptic at first because of the financial interest he had in promoting them but it made me curious about the products.

I have eaten my fair share of jerky growing up, starting before I was a teenager.  It was typically pretty dried out and very chewy with varying degrees of saltiness and sometime sort of peppery.  You’d pick up a package at a gas station, convenience store, or the grocery store and have something that you could dip into for a piece every now and then as a between meal snack.  It seemed to not have changed very much from what the American Indians and early settlers made from drying strips of meat.

Other people who had also become curious about this product began to talk about how they had ordered some, and that it indeed was as delicious as originally described.  The texture was moist and flavors were different and more appealing to these people than other jerky they had eaten in the past.

I soon thereafter placed my first order, and have now ordered on three separate occasions.  Savage Jerky sells beef jerky in their Mojo, Buffalo Sauce, and Sriracha series.  They also sell Bacon jerky, hot sauce, spice rubs, and swag items.  The jerky and sauces are rated for hotness on a 1 to 4 scale, with 4 being the hottest.  I like hot foods.

I tried the Mojo Habanero which is a 3 rating, and thought it was a great combination of heat and flavor.

Sweet Sriracha BBQ was good tasting and had a rating of 1.  I liked it and would say that it’s a great choice for folks who don’t like as much heat.

As soon as I saw the pre-order open up for their new Sriracha Bacon flavored jerky I placed my order.  This stuff did not disappoint.  Even though it’s only rated at 1 on the heat scale, the combination of sweet and bacon salty with a little heat makes it my favorite product they currently sell.  I know that I’m not the only one that feels this way, as they sell out often, and you have to check back in a couple days when their stock is replenished to order it.

Habanero Buffalo was another selection rated at 3 that I ordered.  A good combination of flavor and a good bit of heat.  I liked it but I prefer the taste of the Mojo Habanero slightly more.

When I last ordered they were showing an initial run of Mojo Jalapeño Hot Sauce, and I ordered a bottle of it.  I’ve used all most all of it since them on various foods, and while not as hot as the sauce I usually put on tacos, it was delicious and added the variety of a Mojo flavor to those foods.

I look forward to the release of new flavors in the future from this company, and based on both the products I’ve had over the past year as well as the service I received, can recommend this to anyone who might want to order from them.  I would do this anyway if there was no reward involved, but there’s actually a win-win scenario that’s possible.
