Do you make a truffle jerky?
Do you make a truffle jerky?
Yes — our Umami-Cut Beef Jerky is finished with real black truffle oil, alongside aged tamari, fermented black garlic, and shiitake. It's the closest thing we make to a true truffle jerky. For that same truffle-and-black-garlic profile in a firmer, snackable stick, reach for our Black Truffle & Black Garlic Beef Sticks.
Is the Umami-Cut a fermented beef jerky?
Is the Umami-Cut a fermented beef jerky?
Its flavor is built on fermentation — fermented black garlic and aged tamari give the Umami-Cut its deep, savory umami. The beef itself is cured and slow-dried rather than fermented, so it's a beef jerky built on fermented ingredients, not a fermented meat. That same fermented black garlic anchors our Black Truffle & Black Garlic Beef Sticks. That distinction is exactly why it reads like steak, not like a sour cure.
