Made slow. Made honest.

One bite carries generations.

Cut and seasoned by hand at our Española smokehouse since 1948. Hung to cure over the longest days of summer. Our Salt & Pepper Beef Jerky is a thin and crispy cut. Seasoned with black pepper providing a noticeable peppery kick balanced by salt and a light garlic flavor. It features a bold, savory taste without added sweetness.
