Official Jerky, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a monthly jerky subscription service. Every month you will receive a selection of flavors from a different artisanal jerky maker.
Official Jerky ships via USPS Priority Mail. Jerky is shipped on the 15th of every month and generally takes 2-3 days to arrive.
Inside the outer envelope was the actual Official Jerky bag. I knew that B would be interested in this box, so I made sure to open it on a bad he was home.
The July 2014 Official Jerky artisan was Carnivore Candy and instead of the normal 2-3 flavors, this month included four different flavors! Here are our thoughts on them:
~Carnivore Candy (Orange Teriyaki) ($3.50): Probably my favorite of the bunch. It was more sweet than spicy which I liked. B likes his jerky to taste like meat though. This had a lot of flavor to it.
~Carnivore Candy (Barbecue Mesquite) ($6.99): Again, I would say this was more sweet than spicy. I have a nasty cold so my taste buds are probably a little off. But it was good.
~Carnivore Candy Bacon Jerky (Spicy Sriracha Style) ($6.99): I don’t know why, but I was surprised this really did taste like bacon. I guess I just wasn’t expecting it to be so crispy? Not sure. But this was spicy. Totally not for me.
~Carnivore Candy (Sweet Picante) ($6.99): This was another one that I just didn’t love. Or even really like. B will eat it, but that tiny piece I tried was enough for me! It’s just too much flavor. I suspect some people think that’s a good thing. But not me.
All totaled I came up with a value of $24.47 for the July 2014 Official Jerky box. With shipping this selection (it serves 1) is $14.99, which is a very good deal (oops, I didn’t realize I had gotten a different option) is $29.99. Not as amazing of a deal as I first thought, but I also don’t know where you could buy these locally either. If you are a jerky lover, I totally recommend try this out. You might not love every flavor, but it’s certainly fun to give some new ones try!
