I had never tried it before I got this package from Dutch Jerky in my mailbox. Oh my, I was so very curious about how it would taste, but first I want to start with some scientific facts about easy snack ideas and homemade beef jerky. 😎

You know, I have been thinking about changing the way I write my blog posts. I should be way more serious about everything, and not always try to fool you with all kinds of silly remarks. 😟

Hell no, there is no way I am changing into anything I am not. 😜

If you don't like it, just close your eyes and continue reading past the silly remarks. I wonder how that would work out. 😂

Some of my dedicated readers may know I had a Gastric Bypass in 2018, and need to be careful with sugary foods. 😟

Since I now have a smaller stomach, I can never eat large portions anymore, which is a good thing of course, but that means I have to eat in small batches, so every time I go out the door for 2 hours or more, I need to either stop and buy food or carry something with me. 😊

That's why I am always looking for alternative and easy snack ideas that fit into my handbag, so it thrilled me to get the chance to try this homemade beef jerky from Dutch Jerky in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

About Dutch Jerky

It all started years ago on a trip to San Antonio, Texas. That's where we got our first taste of Beef Jerky (from Dziuks meat-market, Castroville Texas, if you are ever in the area this is a must!). We immediately fell in love with this traditional American product. 

After returning to the Netherlands, we searched for a long time for quality homemade Beef Jerky and concluded that no real 'Beef Jerky' was available. We found all sorts; too thick, too wet, made from minced meat, full of preservatives, non-smoked, and always a few minor pieces for lots of money. That needed to be different!

Since we couldn't do without Beef Jerky anymore, we started making it ourselves. After many tries, we finally got the right recipe! At first, we only made it for ourselves, but soon our friends and then friends of friends asked for our homemade Beef Jerky. The demand grew steadily and finally, when our kitchen looked like a Beef Jerky factory, it was time for a big step. The idea of Dutch Jerky was born: real, affordable American fresh Beef Jerky in a Dutch jacket.

Love for meat, craftsmanship, and really beautiful honest products brought us, and Jasper Poldervaart, the award-winning natural meat specialist from Waterland, together. Together with Jasper, we perfected our recipe and applied it to his grass-fed beef. The result is true homemade Beef Jerky as it should be. At Dutch Jerky, we cut each piece by hand and marinate it in the finest ingredients, and then slowly smoke the meat to create the most delicious Beef Jerky.

Homemade Beef Jerky as it should be

True Beef Jerky, that's what we love at Dutch Jerky. Together with our natural meat butcher from Waterland, we produce this originally American delicacy with only high-quality ingredients. We make this traditional product with an eye for the craft and this results in tasty, large, thinly sliced pieces of smoked, and dried beef. 

To make 100 grams of our traditional hand-cut beef jerky, we use approximately 225 grams of high-quality lean beef from our natural meat butcher. Our homemade beef jerky has a long shelf life outside the refrigerator.

Our beef jerky comes from a natural meat butcher who produces it traditionally. Our product is incredibly healthy and packed with proteins (60%), vitamins, and minerals. Unfortunately, many people aren't familiar with this delicious snack and we want to change this.

My opinion on the Garlic Rosemary

As with any kind of food, I always dive in the nose first. I found the smell a bit fishy, not literally of course, but a little weird. Still, I didn't let my nose get in the way of my tasting. 😊

At first, the feeling was peculiar, but after chewing for a few seconds, the taste of the meat came through, and it wasn't an unpleasant taste at all. 😋

My opinion on the Pepper

If you like to pepper your food, you are definitely going to like this one. Although, I don't think they went over the top with their peppercorns. I was most fan of this one even though I am not a huge pepper lover. 😍

My opinion on the Cajun

Regret to say I wasn't a fan of this taste. It's probably the combination of spices that is just not my thing. 😵

Overall, I like the slightly salty snack, and it's healthy and packed with proteins. You could also present it as a snack on a serving board when you have friends over. 😉

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day
