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
I bought this jalapeno flavored bag of Billy D’s beef jerky at a convenience store in San Diego, California, back in 2011. This bag was a whopping 10 ounce/283.5 gram size. In my visits to California, for whatever reason, it was more common to see these 10 ounce bags of Billy D’s beef jerky for sale, opposed to the more normal 3-4 ounce bags.

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.

The beef is air dried in a climate controlled, sterile cooler for 9-10 days, rather than using a dehydrator or smoker.
