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.
Feeling Hungry Yet?
Now if you've now got a craving for some lean meat, we don't blame you.

High-Protein Meal Prep Snacks to Power Your Week
When you're chasing something that’s easy to prepare or simple to grab on the fly, you don’t want to settle for whatever’s lying around. You want healthy snacks that actually fuel your day (and we reckon we’ve got just the thing). Forget those plastic-wrapped bars full of mystery ingredients. We’re talking about real food. Food that’s flavour-packed, protein-rich, and something you’ll actually want to eat. Between hitting the gym, stacking back-to-back shifts, or packing lunchboxes for the week, these high-protein snacks will keep you sorted. Why protein should be your snack MVP Protein does more than just help you stack on muscle. It keeps you full, supports recovery after training, and stops you from reaching for junk when the 3pm hunger hits. If you’ve ever felt like a snack just didn’t cut it (it probably didn’t have enough protein). Unlike sugary snacks that spike your energy then crash it, protein gives you steady fuel. It slows digestion, keeps blood sugar stable, and helps you stay focused. And when you’re active, lifting, running or on your feet all day, you need more of it. Getting that extra hit from your snacks makes a difference. Meal prep without the meal stress Meal planning sounds great until it’s Sunday night and you’ve got zero motivation and a sink full of dishes (let’s admit… we’ve all been there). But it doesn’t have to be a full-blown operation. When it comes to snacks, a little planning goes a long way. Here’s how to make it easy: Pick snacks that last Snacks like Jerky, biltong, and droëwors don’t need to be kept in the fridge if you’re eating them the same day. They’re perfect for the gym bag, lunchbox or centre console. Prep in bulk Boil up some eggs, portion out some Greek yoghurt / cottage cheese, or make a batch of protein balls. Pack ahead Chuck a few snacks in the fridge, glovebox, or gym bag so you’re never caught hungry. Mix it up Keep a few options on hand so you’re not reaching for the same thing every day and getting bored. Top protein meal prep snacks to power your week Beef Jerky Our signature snack. Marinated for 24 hours and air-dried to perfection, our beef jerky is the ultimate grab-and-go snack. It’s high in protein, low in carbs, and doesn’t need to be refrigerated if you’re eating it on the same day. Biltong If you’re after something tender and seriously satisfying, biltong’s the way to go. Made from premium air-dried meat (available in Beef or Lamb), it’s thick-sliced, full of bold flavour, and packs a solid hit of protein. It’s a softer chew than jerky and perfect straight from the fridge when you need something that actually fills you up. Snap Sticks Crunchy, thin-cut meat sticks that snap when you bite into them. Snap sticks are full of bold flavour and protein, and great for anyone who wants a snack with a bit of bite. Beef Bites If you like your snacks meaty and mess-free, beef bites are where it’s at. These bite-sized chunks of jerky are made for easy snacking and pack just as much protein as the full strips. Droëwors This traditional-style dried sausage hits hard in both flavour and protein. Droëwors are rich, savoury and built for on-the-go snacking. Just toss a few in your bag and you’re sorted. Great if you like your snacks with a bit more depth and bite. Boiled Eggs Cheap, classic, and super filling. Boil up half a dozen at the start of the week and you’ve got a protein-rich snack ready to go. Sprinkle with a little chilli salt or paprika if you want to level it up. Chia Pudding A great fridge-friendly option with a solid protein base. Mix chia seeds with almond milk or Greek yoghurt, let it set overnight, then top with berries, nuts, or a little honey. Easy, customisable, and full of fibre and omega-3s too. Pork Crackle When you’re chasing something salty, crunchy and seriously satisfying, pork crackle hits the spot. It’s high in protein, low in carbs, and delivers that crisp bite that keeps you coming back. Ours is already packaged, so you can throw it in your bag and get on with your day! Peanut Butter + Fruit Okay, it’s not the highest protein option on this list (but it holds its own when you need something quick and satisfying). The healthy fats and fibre combo keeps you full, and it’s way better than smashing a muffin from the servo. Tuna Salad + Wholegrain Crackers Mix tuna with a bit of Greek yoghurt, avo or lemon juice, and you’ve got a high-protein spread that travels well. Pair with crackers or cucumber slices for a solid, balanced snack that won’t let you down mid-arvo. Roasted Chickpeas Crunchy, salty, and packed with plant-based protein. These little powerhouses hit the spot when you want something savoury without reaching for a bag of chips. Season with smoked paprika, garlic salt, or even curry powder for variety. The Jerky Co difference Not all protein snacks are created equal. At The Jerky Co, we’re all about doing things properly. We use 100% MSA-grade Australian beef and lamb, because good meat is the foundation of everything we make. Every batch is marinated for over 24 hours, then air-dried the traditional way to lock in flavour and preserve that chewy, satisfying texture jerky lovers are obsessed with. You won’t catch us cutting corners or padding things out with fillers. It’s real meat, real flavour, and a proper hit of protein in every bite. From bold and spicy to smoky, sweet, or classic, there’s a flavour to match whatever mood you’re in. So next time you're stocking up your meal prep stash, do your body a favour and load up on snacks that are built to perform. Ready to snack faster? High-protein snacks don’t have to be boring (or a mission to prepare). Smashing out gym sessions, juggling meetings, chasing the kids or just pushing through a busy day does take a toll. The right fuel can make all the difference. Check out our full range online or swing by your nearest Jerky Co kiosk to load up on your go-to flavours. Fuel your week with a proper protein hit and snacks you’ll actually enjoy eating.

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.

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!
