This premium snack starts with 100% uncured, thick-cut bacon and is slow-smoked, lightly sweetened with real maple and brown sugar, then dried to create tender, chewy strips that capture classic bacon flavor in a portable format. Packaged as two 2-ounce bags (4 ounces total), the jerky is handcrafted in small batches in a USDA-inspected facility, using natural curing agents and no artificial flavors or MSG. Each serving delivers protein and bold taste ideal for on-the-go snacking, charcuterie boards, or adding a savory-sweet accent to breakfasts and sandwiches.

How is this bacon jerky made and what ingredients are used?

We start with whole, thick-cut uncured bacon rather than formed meat, then season and slow-smoke each strip before finishing with maple, brown sugar, and a hint of honey for a candied effect. Natural curing ingredients like celery powder and sea salt are used instead of synthetic nitrates or nitrites, and there are no artificial flavors or MSG.

• 100% uncured thick-cut bacon (not reformed meat)
• Real maple syrup, brown sugar, and honey for sweetness
• Natural cure: celery powder and sea salt
• Small-batch, slow-smoked and dried in a USDA-inspected facility

What does the texture and flavor profile taste like?

Expect a chewy yet tender bite that keeps the familiar snap and fattiness of bacon while offering concentrated smoky and sweet notes. The maple glaze caramelizes slightly during drying, producing a rich sweet-savory balance with a pronounced smoky backbone.

• Thick-cut texture: chew-forward with a tender interior
• Sweet-savory maple glaze with brown sugar caramelization
• Noticeable smoke flavor from slow-smoking process
• 18–20 grams of satisfying protein per serving (approximate)
