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.

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.

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.

Back-to-School Snacks for Kids: High-Protein, No-Mess, No-Stress!
The school bell’s ringing, the lunchboxes are packed, and your kids are off for another big day of learning. But what they snack on during the day can make a huge difference in their energy, focus, and even their mood. As a parent, you want snacks that tick all the right boxes—nutritious, filling, and easy to pack. But with so many options out there, it’s tough to find something that actually keeps them going without the sugar highs (and crashes) or leftover crumbs at the bottom of the bag. The good news? High-protein, no-mess snacks like jerky and biltong are here to save the day. They’re delicious, packed with protein to keep kids full, and require zero prep—just grab, pack, and go. The problem with typical school snacks Not all snacks are created equal—especially when it comes to keeping kids full and focused throughout the school day. While plenty of snacks are marketed as "healthy" or "kid-friendly," many fall short where it really counts. Here’s why typical school snacks for kids don’t always do the job. Too much added sugar Many snacks, like muesli bars, yoghurts, and fruit pouches, are loaded with added sugar. While they might give kids a quick energy boost, they also lead to crashes—leaving them tired and unfocused by the afternoon. Not filling enough Crackers, popcorn, and rice cakes might seem like a good choice, but they’re mostly carbs with little protein. That means kids get hungry again quickly, leading to distracted, grumpy little learners. Messy & wasteful Some snacks leave behind sticky fingers, crumbs, or half-eaten leftovers. If you’re a parent, know the struggle of finding a mushy banana or crushed crackers at the bottom of a school bag! Time-consuming to prep Chopping fruit, making sandwiches, or portioning out snacks takes time—something most parents don’t have in the busy morning rush. Why beef jerky & biltong are the ultimate school snacks for kids High in protein = keep kids fuelled & focused Protein is essential for keeping kids satisfied between meals, helping to sustain their energy levels and concentration throughout the school day. Snacks like beef jerky and biltong provide a steady source of fuel, preventing hunger pangs and helping kids stay alert and engaged in their learning without relying on sugary options. Low in sugar = no afternoon crashes Many snack options contain hidden sugars, leading to quick energy spikes followed by sluggish crashes. Choosing low-sugar, high-protein snacks like jerky or biltong helps maintain balanced energy levels, keeping kids feeling steady and focused rather than experiencing mid-day fatigue. Delicious & satisfying = no mess, no waste The best snacks are the ones kids actually eat! A truly satisfying snack is both nutritious and enjoyable, meaning there are no half-eaten leftovers, sticky messes, or crumb-covered lunchboxes at the end of the day. Plus, our reusable silicone food bag makes snack time even easier—eco-friendly, easy to clean, and saves money on single-use plastic snack bags. Less waste, more taste! No prep needed = perfect for busy mornings Mornings can be hectic, and convenience matters. A snack like jerky or biltong that’s ready to grab and go—without the need for slicing, portioning, or packing complicated ingredients—makes life easier for parents while ensuring kids still get the nourishment they need. The best Jerky Co. snacks for kids’ lunchboxes Not sure where to start? Here are our top picks from The Jerky Co. that make the perfect school snacks—high in protein, low in sugar, and mess-free! Traditional beef jerky A classic favourite! Our Traditional Beef Jerky is packed with 54.8g of protein per 100g, making it an excellent source of long-lasting energy for growing kids. Unlike many snack options that lead to energy crashes, this protein-rich choice helps keep kids full, focused, and ready to take on the school day. It’s also low in sugar, ensuring that little learners stay energised without the mid-afternoon slump. Plus, it’s tender, flavourful, and mess-free—so you won’t have to worry about crumbs or sticky hands. Simply toss a portion into their lunchbox, and they’re good to go! Traditional beef biltong For a softer, easier-to-chew alternative, our Traditional Beef Biltong is a fantastic choice. Made from high-quality beef and naturally air-dried, it retains all the goodness of jerky but with a more tender texture—perfect for younger kids or those who prefer a softer bite. This nutrient-dense, high-protein snack is incredibly satisfying while being low in sugar, so kids can enjoy a tasty treat that fuels their day without artificial additives. Whether eaten on its own or paired with cheese or crackers, biltong is a wholesome, mess-free lunchbox essential. Fruit jerky Need a naturally sweet option without the sugar overload? Our Air-Dried Fruit Salad Jerky is the perfect alternative to sugary fruit snacks. Made from 100% real fruit with no added sugar, this chewy, flavourful snack is rich in fibre and essential vitamins, making it a great way to add extra nutrients to your child’s diet. It’s a fun, mess-free treat that satisfies their sweet tooth while complementing protein-packed lunch items like jerky or biltong. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with Greek yoghurt for an added protein boost, Fruit Jerky is a delicious, guilt-free choice for school snacks. Making back-to-school snacking easy School mornings are hectic, but packing a nutritious, no-fuss lunchbox doesn’t have to be!

How to Craft the Perfect Charcuterie Board with Beef Jerky
There’s nothing quite like gathering friends and family around a charcuterie board brimming with delicious bites. These boards are the ultimate crowd-pleaser—easy to prepare, visually stunning, and endlessly customisable. But here’s the twist: why not shake up the traditional charcuterie experience by making beef jerky the star of the show? Beef jerky brings an exciting edge to your board with its rich flavours, chewy texture, and undeniable Aussie charm. With a mix of premium flavours, clever arrangements, and pro tips, you’ll be ready to create a board that’s as Instagram-worthy as it is irresistible. What is a charcuterie board? Charcuterie boards have been around for centuries, originating from the French tradition of preserving and showcasing meats. In its most traditional form, a charcuterie board is an arrangement of cured meats like prosciutto, salami, and pâtés, paired with cheeses, bread, and pickled accompaniments. Over time, this humble concept has evolved into a global entertaining staple, celebrated for its versatility and visual appeal. Today, the term "charcuterie board" refers to any beautifully arranged platter of snackable goodies. While classic boards feature cured pork and traditional cheeses, modern versions have no limits—fresh fruits, nuts, chocolate, and even dried meats like beef jerky have found their way into the mix. This fusion of flavours and textures is what makes charcuterie boards a creative canvas for hosts and food lovers alike. Why beef jerky deserves a spot on your board Beef jerky might not be the first thing you think of when creating a charcuterie board, but it absolutely deserves a starring role. Here’s why: 1. Unmatched variety of flavours From smoky barbecue to spicy chilli, beef jerky comes in a range of flavours that cater to all taste buds. This variety allows you to mix and match different jerky profiles with cheeses, fruits, and crackers for a dynamic snacking experience. 2. A unique texture Charcuterie boards thrive on a mix of textures, and jerky adds that chewy, satisfying bite that you just can’t get from other cured meats. Its hearty texture contrasts beautifully with creamy cheeses and crispy crackers, making every bite more exciting. 3. Easy to pair with other ingredients Beef jerky’s versatility shines when it’s paired with complementary flavours. Spicy jerky works wonders alongside creamy cheeses like brie, while sweeter varieties are elevated by dried fruits and nuts. Its bold taste can stand up to strong cheeses, tangy pickles, and even chocolate for a sweet-and-savoury twist. 4. High-protein, low-guilt snacking Unlike some indulgent charcuterie items, beef jerky is a protein-packed, low-fat option that doesn’t skimp on flavour. It’s a great way to keep your board delicious and wholesome, giving your guests a snack they can feel good about eating. Steps to create the perfect beef jerky charcuterie board Step #1: Choose the right board The foundation of any great charcuterie board is, well, the board itself! Opt for a sturdy surface like a wooden cutting board, a marble slab, or even a slate platter. The size will depend on how many people you’re catering to, but don’t be afraid to go big—you want enough room to showcase all the goodies while keeping it easy to grab from all sides. Step #2: Plan your ingredients A well-rounded charcuterie board thrives on variety. Here’s what we reckon you should include: Beef jerky and other various meats Pick 2-3 flavors to offer contrast. For example: Sweet BBQ Beef Jerky for a mild, family-friendly option. Chilli Beef Jerky for those who love a kick. Exotic Truffle Beef Jerky for a rich, gourmet profile. Cheeses Go for a mix of textures and strengths. Include: A creamy soft cheese (e.g., brie or camembert). A sharp hard cheese (e.g., aged cheddar or parmesan). A novelty cheese (e.g., a fruit-infused goat cheese). Fruits and veggies Fresh: Grapes, apple slices, carrots, berries, or cherry tomatoes. Dried: Apricots, cranberries, or figs. If dried fruit is more your thing, we’ve got you covered with our Fruit Jerky Air-Dried Fruit Salad—a perfectly sweet and chewy addition to any board. Crunchy elements Crackers: Water crackers, seeded crisps, or baguette slices. Nuts: Almonds, pistachios, or roasted cashews. Dips and spreads Hummus, mustard, chutneys, or honey for a touch of sweetness. Extras Olives, pickles, and marinated veggies for tangy pops of flavour. Step #3: Arrange like a pro Let’s be real—you’re not putting all this effort into crafting the perfect beef jerky charcuterie board just to have it go unnoticed. Make it insta-worthy! Start with the “anchor items” like bowls of dips, large cheeses, or clusters of jerky, and place them evenly across the board. Then, layer in smaller items like crackers, fruits, and nuts to fill the gaps. Follow these tips for a standout display: Colours: Use vibrant fruits and veggies to add pops of colour. Textures: Combine creamy, crunchy, and chewy elements for contrast. Height: Stack crackers or fan out jerky slices to create dimension. Step #4: Pairing tips for maximum flavour Take your charcuterie board to the next level with these foolproof pairings: Chilli Beef Jerky + creamy brie + a drizzle of honey Smokey Beef Jerky + blue cheese + fresh pear slices Texan Beef Jerky + sharp cheddar + dried apricots For drinks, pair with a chilled beer, a fruity red wine, or even a sparkling non-alcoholic option like ginger ale. Step #5: Finishing touches Make your board pop with a few small details: Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme. Include cheese knives and small tongs for easy serving. Add serviettes and toothpicks to keep things tidy. Where to get the best beef jerky in Australia The Jerky Co’s premium Aussie beef jerky is exactly what you need to make your board shine.
