Australia's Leading Premium Beef Jerky & Biltong Specialists - The Jerky Co.
We like to think we know a thing or two about beef jerky (I mean it's in our name for crying out loud). But creating premium and fresh Australian beef jerky means more than just whacking any old cut of meat into a dehydrator and calling it a day. We understand that good things take time. Great things need that little something special. Creating that perfect piece of chewy jerky from a lean cut of beef is where The Jerky Co. really thrives.
Our family recipes stretch back more than 20 years, allowing us to pack loads of amazing flavour into our beef which is marinated for over 24 hours. We pride ourselves on creating Aussie beef jerky with premium cuts of beef and with a range of different flavours that'll be sure to tickle your fancy. From Sweet BBQ to Extra Hot, we're always looking for premium flavours to add to our Jerky repertoire.
Top Quality Meat
It's no secret that to make a tasty piece of beef jerky, you need a top-quality lean cut of beef. That's why all of our meat used in our air dried meat products at The Jerky Co. is MSA grade beef. Using premium cuts of Australian beef allows us to create the tastiest, juiciest and freshest beef jerky that Australia has ever seen. There's never been a better time to support local, so this is why we choose to use high-quality Australian beef in all of our different flavours and products. On top of this, we're constantly searching for ways to improve upon the quality of our jerky, so that you're consistently getting a mind-blowing sensation with every bite. With sprinklings of delicious soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder and brown sugar as just a few of the tantalising additions to our beef jerky, it's safe to say your mouth is in for a wild ride when you pop a piece in.
Forget What You Know About Jerky
Although you might associate jerky with a forgotten shelf at an old service station, The Jerky Co is breaking down the barriers on what you thought jerky could be. We want to switch up the story and show you that beef jerky can be damn tasty (and nutritious too). With wholesome and nutritious snacks produced with the whole family in mind, The Jerky Co. hopes to form a special part of a balanced diet for kids and adults alike. Trust us. If you love beef jerky, you're going to love the quality Australian beef that we've spent hours transforming into premium beef jerky.
What About Our Other Premium Air Dried Meat Snacks?
Although we're well known for our beef jerky, our expertise doesn't just stop at our tasty and chewy jerky. Far from it. When we got into the air dried meat game, we aimed to create tasty, fresh and protein-rich snacks of all shapes and sizes. So if you're more of a fan of beef biltong, then we've got you covered there too. If you're not into slicing the meat yourself, we have the option of both unsliced and sliced meat in all of our different flavours! We've also got snap sticks, droewors, and more to keep you stocked up on your favourite meaty snacks.

How Protein Keeps You Fuller For Longer
Always feeling peckish not long after a meal? You’re not alone. From mid-arvo snack cravings to the kids asking for food every hour, staying full can feel like a challenge. The problem often isn’t how much you’re eating, but what you’re eating. That’s where protein comes in. It’s one of the reasons we’re so obsessed with crafting high-protein snacks that actually satisfy your taste buds and hunger. At The Jerky Co, we know that when you fuel up with the good stuff you’re not just enjoying a tasty bite, you’re doing your body a favour too. Turns out, that bag of jerky might be working harder than you think. The science behind fullness: How protein works in your body Protein affects your hunger hormones After you eat a protein rich food, your body releases hormones that help you feel full. These include: Peptide YY (PYY) and GLP-1, which signal fullness Ghrelin, your main hunger hormone, which drops after a high protein meal This shift in hormones is what helps control your appetite and reduce cravings (especially compared to high-sugar, low-protein snacks). Protein digests slower than carbohydrates and fat One of the key reasons high protein diets are linked to better satiety is digestion time. Dietary protein breaks down slower in the gut, which: Keeps your stomach feeling full for longer Helps maintain steady energy levels Reduces the urge to snack between meals That slow breakdown means your body stays satisfied for longer after a protein-rich meal or snack. Which means no sugar crashes and no second lunch needed! Protein burns more energy to digest Here's a bonus benefit: your body actually uses more energy to digest protein than it does for carbs or fat. This is called the thermic effect of food. To put it simply: Protein burns 20–30% of its calories during digestion Carbs burn 5–10% Fats burn 0–3% So not only does it help you eat less, but it also takes more effort to process, which can support weight loss and weight management goals over time. Who benefits most from feeling fuller? Adults trying to lose weight If you're working on losing weight or managing body weight, increasing protein is one of the easiest (and most effective) strategies, since: It keeps you feeling full, so you naturally eat less It supports fat loss without sacrificing muscle mass It helps control cravings and late-night snacking Busy families & growing kids Kids, teens, and adults on the go need fuel that lasts. Swapping out sugary snacks for protein rich foods can help: Keep energy levels steady Improve concentration Prevent the constant “I’m hungry” complaints Active Aussies & fitness lovers Anyone hitting the gym or staying active needs protein to support increased muscle mass and recovery. It also: Helps with maintaining muscle during fat loss Aids recovery after training Keeps you feeling full without heavy meals Older adults As we age, we naturally lose muscle. Getting enough protein becomes even more important to: Support strength and mobility Reduce the risk of injury Maintain a healthy body weight and independence Protein-packed foods to keep you going Everyday sources of protein If you're looking to eat more protein rich foods, start by introducing the basics into your meals. Such as: Lean meats like beef, chicken and turkey Eggs, Greek yoghurt and other high-protein dairy Lentils, chickpeas and other plant-based options Protein powder if you're in a rush or want something on the go The Jerky Co’s high-protein heroes If you want a quick, tasty way to increase your protein intake, our range of air dried meat snacks is built for the job. Each product is made from premium Australian meat, air dried to lock in flavour and naturally high in protein without the need for heavy processing or weird additives. Beef Jerky – Chewy, lean and marinated for over 24 hours to pack in serious flavour. Biltong – Soft, rich slices of air dried beef that melt in your mouth. Available sliced or chunked. Droëwors – Traditional-style beef sticks that are salty, savoury, and seriously satisfying. Snap Sticks – Thin and crunchy with big flavour in every bite. Beef Bites – Bite-sized chunks of beef with a bold taste. Handy for snacking or adding to meals. Pork Crackle – Light, crispy, and packed with protein. A crunchy alternative without the carbs. Each one is an easy way to stay full, cut down on mindless snacking and keep your body properly fuelled throughout the day. Fuel up with purpose Snacking doesn’t have to mean empty calories and constant hunger. When your snack’s got proper protein in it, you stay full, keep your energy up, and get on with your day without the second lunch.

The Ultimate Guide to Healthy Road Trip Snacks
There’s nothing worse than being halfway into a long drive and realising you’ve got nothing to snack on. The servo options? Overpriced, full of sugar, and usually pretty average. If you’re doing the kilometres, you need snacks that’ll actually keep you going. This guide’s all about helping you find the best healthy snacks for a road trip. We’re talking stuff that lasts, gives you energy, doesn’t make a mess, and actually tastes good. What makes a great road trip snack? Not all snacks are road trip material. You don’t want something that melts in the heat, crumbles all over your car seats, or needs a knife and fork to eat. A proper road trip snack should tick a few boxes. Easy to store You’re dealing with limited space and usually no esky. Snacks need to survive hours in a glovebox or backpack without going off or turning into mush. Mess-free No one wants greasy fingers or wrappers flying out the window. You want clean, compact, and simple. Something you can eat with one hand while the other’s on the wheel. And if you’re not driving, you don’t want to look back at the end of the day and see chip crumbs, sticky wrappers and half a muesli bar wedged between the seats. High energy, low crash The best healthy snacks for a road trip should give you a solid energy boost without sending your blood sugar through the roof. Zero prep Road trips are meant to be easy. You’re not pulling over to slice veggies or whip up a sandwich. You want grab-and-go options that are ready when you are. The best healthy snacks for a road trip #1: Beef jerky & biltong High in protein, packed with flavour, and lasts for ages without needing a fridge. Jerky and biltong are perfect when you want something that hits the spot and keeps you full for longer. No crumbs, no mess, just chewy, satisfying bites you can stash in the console and reach for whenever the hunger kicks in. The Jerky Co’s range is made from premium Aussie beef, marinated for over 24 hours and air-dried to perfection. Sweet BBQ, Traditional, Chilli, and so much more — there’s a flavour for every seat in the car. The best part? Nearly everything we make comes in snackable sizes, so you don’t need to think twice. You could even grab a handful of Droëwors, Beef Bites, or Snap Sticks. All of our air-dried meat is made for road trips, gloveboxes, and quick pit stop munching. #2: Air-dried fruits If you’re after something naturally sweet that won’t melt, go off, or leave your fingers sticky, air-dried fruit is where it’s at. At The Jerky Co, we’ve taken the same love and care we put into our beef jerky and created a range of Fruit Jerky that’s 100% Australian and packed fresh daily. No added sugar, no preservatives, just air-dried slices of fruit with flavour that actually tastes like fruit. Try our Air-Dried Fruit Salad Jerky, packed with sweet, tart and tangy notes that hit just right when you need a pick-me-up. Or grab a bag of our Air-Dried Mango, which are chewy, naturally sweet, and way better than anything you’ll find in a plastic tub at the servo. #3: Nuts & seeds A handful of almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, or trail mix goes a long way. They’re rich in healthy fats and protein, and they don’t take up much space. If you’re wanting to keep it healthy, just skip the ones coated in sugar or salt-heavy seasoning (plain or lightly roasted is the way to go). #4: Protein bars or balls Easy to store, quick to eat, and a solid energy boost when you’re starting to fade. Just keep an eye on the ingredients (as some are basically glorified chocolate bars). Look for ones with a short ingredients list and no weird additives. #5: Chopped veggies & hummus (if you’ve got a cooler) If you’ve got the luxury of an esky or fridge bag, fresh snacks like carrot sticks, cucumbers, and hummus are worth throwing in. But keep in mind — once they’re out of the cold, the clock starts ticking. Snack packing tips for the road You’ve got your snack stash sorted (now pack smart so it actually lasts the distance and doesn’t turn your car into a disaster zone). Bring reusable containers or zip-locks Keeps things organised and easy to grab without fumbling through giant bags of snacks. Better for the planet, too. Hot tip: grab one of our Stand Up Reusable Silicone Food Bags. Tough, washable, and seals tight so nothing spills. When you’re done, it doubles as a mini rubbish bag to keep all your snack wrappers in one spot. No mess, no stress! Portion ahead of time to avoid over-snacking Breaking things up into smaller serves helps keep you from smashing a full bag of jerky in one sitting (unless that’s the plan, then power to you). Keep a mix of sweet and savoury to beat cravings Jerky, fruit jerky, nuts, whatever your flavour — a good variety keeps everyone in the car happy and snack-happy. Store snacks in an accessible spot (not buried in the boot) Nothing worse than pulling over just to fish out a protein bar from the bottom of your luggage. Keep it easy, keep it tasty Road trips are better when the snacks are sorted. No one wants to be stuck hungry with nothing but melted chocolate and greasy fingers. Keep it simple. Pack smart. Load up on the stuff that actually lasts and tastes good. Browse our full range of beef jerky online, or find your nearest store to grab and go without the wait!

Healthy Easter Basket Ideas: Swap Candy for High-Protein Snacks
When most people think of Easter, they think mountains of chocolate, sugar-filled treats, and a bunch of kids running around on a serious sugar high. And hey, we’re all for a cheeky choccy egg or two—but if you’re looking to dodge the dreaded crash and burn (especially with the little ones), it might be time to switch things up. This year, we’re all about healthy Easter basket ideas that still bring the fun, just with a bit more balance. Think high-protein snacks like beef jerky, a few naturally sweet goodies, and a mix that’ll keep everyone energised for the big egg hunt (and whatever else Easter throws your way). Why skip the sugar overload? Let’s be real, loading Easter baskets with sugar-packed treats might seem like a bit of harmless fun, but it usually ends with hyper kids, wild mood swings, and one hell of a crash not long after. And it’s not just the little ones feeling it—adults get hit with that post-choc slump too. All that energy fizzles fast, and no one wants to spend Easter dealing with the aftermath. Lucky for you, we reckon we’ve got a solution that sorts this out pretty nicely. Beef jerky: the ultimate Easter snack hero Jerky's the kind of snack that actually pulls its weight. It keeps energy steady, tummies fuller for longer, and tantrums (hopefully) to a minimum. Protein fuels all the running around, helps with focus, and won’t leave anyone falling asleep halfway through the family lunch. And unlike your choccy bunny, it won’t melt in the sun. That makes it perfect for egg hunts, road trips, camping weekends or whatever else you've got planned this Easter. Kid-friendly flavours that still pack a punch When it comes to keeping the little ones happy, flavour matters. Some kids might not be into spicy or heavy marinades, which is why we’ve got options that go down a treat with even the fussiest eaters. Our Sweet BBQ is a top pick — it’s smoky, a little sweet, and super easy to chew. Traditional is another safe bet with its classic, savoury flavour that’s not too bold. These are the kinds of snacks that feel like a treat, but still sneak in that protein punch. And because our Beef Jerky is made from 100% Aussie MSA-grade beef, marinated for over 24 hours and air-dried the proper way, you know exactly what you’re putting in their basket. Alright, but what about the adults? Easter isn’t just for the kids (adults deserve a treat too). And if you’re shopping for someone who prefers savoury over sweet, a beef jerky basket is the way to go. Flavour-wise, we’ve got plenty that hit the mark. Texan brings bold vibes with a touch of sweetness. Smokey is a classic all-rounder, rich and full-bodied. For anyone who likes a bit of heat, Chilli turns things up a notch. And for the real spice lovers, our Extra Hot jerky is sure to put some hair on your chest. It’s a practical, tasty gift that won’t melt, crumble, or get left behind. Just real Aussie-made jerky, air-dried to perfection and packed with flavour. The kind of Easter treat that actually gets remembered. Other protein snacks to add in If you’re building a healthier Easter basket, variety is key. Filling it with a mix of high-protein goodies keeps things interesting and helps balance out any sweet treats you decide to toss in. These also make great filler ideas that aren’t just empty calories. Snap sticks: Lean, full of flavour, and easy to snack on — perfect for active kids (and hungry adults). Droëwors: A meatier option with rich, traditional sausage flavour. Air-dried and seriously satisfying. Pork crackle: Crunchy, salty, and low-carb. Adds texture and a solid dose of protein to any basket. Morish Nuts: A handful of these bring good fats, protein, and a bit of nutty crunch to balance things out. But also… still mix in the fun! Easter doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You can still include a few treats without filling the whole basket with sugar. A couple of small choccy Easter eggs or chocolate-covered almonds can bring that festive feel while keeping things balanced. For a naturally sweet option, fruit jerky is a great pick. It adds a bit of chew and sweetness without going over the top, and it's a fun way to change things up from the usual lollies. Wrap it all up in a colourful, reusable basket or some eco-friendly packaging, and you’ve got a mix of savoury and sweet that’s fun, balanced, and easy on the sugar. Hop into a healthier easter Swapping out the sugar overload for a few high-protein snacks is a simple way to make Easter feel just as fun (without the crash). Jerky, nuts, pork crackle, and fruit jerky bring the flavour, keep everyone fuelled, and turn your baskets into something a bit more special. Browse our full range of air-dried beef jerky online or find your nearest store and build a basket that tastes as good as it looks. Your future self (and your energy levels) will thank you.
