We’ve done it again. For the third year in a row, The Jerky Co has taken home the coveted Champion Medal at the Perth Royal Food Awards.
This year the honour went to our Texan Beef Jerky, named the best among all entries. Its Wild West spice blend, sweet and savoury with a pinch of chilli, clearly won the judges over.
It wasn’t a solo effort, either. Across our jerky and biltong range we collected 18 medals, including 7 GOLD.
GOLD
In Beef Jerky, Texan, Traditional and Great Southern earned GOLD.
In Biltong, Extra Hot, Fatty, Garlic and Sweet BBQ took GOLD. That makes it two years straight at the top for Extra Hot Biltong, last year’s Champion.
SILVER
In Beef Jerky, Smokey and Exotic Truffle achieved SILVER.
In Biltong, Chilli, Chilli Fatty, Smokey and Exotic Truffle Fatty also took SILVER.
BRONZE
In Beef Jerky, Sweet BBQ and Extra Hot received BRONZE.
In Biltong, Traditional, Texan Fatty and our Mint & Rosemary Lamb Biltong rounded out the line-up with BRONZE.
The people behind the medals
None of this happens without our production crew in Wangara. They’re up early, marinating for over 24 hours, then slicing, seasoning and air-drying every batch by hand, the same way we have for over 20 years. Three Champion titles belong to them.
And to you, thank you for keeping the bar high and the bags empty.
