This marks jerky review #100 for Jerky Ingredients. On review #50, for fun, I did a review on my own extreme garlic flavored jerky. For now, I will continue that tradition with a review on a 2.1 ounce/60 gram bag of my extreme peppered flavor.
I started making homemade jerky in 2008. For each batch of jerky I use 16-17 pounds of beef in my food dehydrator. Keep in mind that close to 2/3 of the jerky weight will evaporate during the Read More

This marks jerky review #50 for this web site. Just for fun, I will do a review on my own jerky, which is not for sale. I suppose this will be called the Jerky Ingredients brand name. This review will be on a 2.1 ounce/60 gram bag of beef jerky of which I call my extreme garlic flavor.
I started experimenting making jerky in 2008. While I have dabbled with 8 flavors so far, extreme garlic has always been my favorite flavor. What gives Read More
In April, 2014, I purchased this 2.5 ounce/72 gram bag of sweet and hot flavored Halal beef jerky at the Indian grocery store Bestway Food Market in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Halal means food that is allowed for consumption under Islamic dietary guidelines. The aim is for a Muslim to slaughter the animal, limiting the amount of pain the animal will endure.

This marks my first review for jerky purchased in 2014, on March 8 to be exact. I mention the exact date because we picked up a puppy for our family, the whippet dog breed. We were asked to pick up this puppy around London, Ontario. So if I am going to drive 2 hours somewhere, I may as well search the area beforehand, where I discovered that Bob’s Ultimate Meats sells beef jerky. They are located in downtown London, Ontario, inside an indoor flea market called the Read More
Note: For a live taste review read Florence Meats – Peri Peri Biltong (Review #1).
Biltong has South African origins. I purchased this Peri Peri flavored bag at Florence Meats in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Peri Peri is a unique flavor to biltong, which is spicy, but not overly hot in flavor. The beef is air dried in a climate controlled, sterile cooler for 9-10 days, rather than using a dehydrator or smoker.
Florence Meats is a small meat store that opened up in 1977. They advertise as giving customers excellent service, where Read More
