Easily the most frequent question asked is what is the best jerky. That is a loaded question. Depends if you prefer a soft and tender, or a dry texture, or crispy. A bold flavor or mellow flavor. Sweet or not, spicy or mild. Thick or thin cut jerky. And not to mention biltong. There are so many different factors, and so many different jerky flavors (491 – August 30/2019). Plus there is recency bias.

Based on the Top 20 Jerkies, one could conclude that Wild Bill’s hickory smoked beef jerky is the most popular jerky in the world. Back in 2008, Wild Bill’s was my favorite tasting jerky in the world, especially their bold black pepper flavor. Wild Bill’s occupies spots (1, 4, 9, 15) in the Top 20 Jerkies. Some negative comments this year indicate that Wild Bill’s has changed the way on how their jerky is manufactured in the last three years.
Old Trapper quickly follows impressively occupying spots (2, 7, 14, 17). Surprisingly, Boar’s Head occupies 3rd and 11th place. Simms from Aldi occupies 5th and 18th place. A shout out to congratulate Savage Jerky Co. on being the only craft jerky maker to crack the Top 20 Jerkies list in 12th place, where Savage Jerky Co. was my favorite jerky brand in 2015.
We constantly publish jerky reviews for all of these great, smaller craft jerky makers. Sadly, big brand jerky dominates. It’s just the way it is, where more people than not don’t care what ingredients are used on jerky. People want a good tasting jerky, and generally at a low price.
