FAQFrequently Asked QuestionsWhere does Wild West
Beef Jerky Beef come from Wild West Beef Jerky is made for us by KingB, an American (US) company with over thirty years experience in the Jerky business. It is made in a purpose built plant in Uruguay, South America, specially set up to cater for European needs and to utilise the wonderful quality of beef there.

How is your jerky made? [top] Beef Jerky comes exclusively from top quality cattle in Uruguay. The meat is trimmed so it's 100% visibly lean. Then it is cut, special herbs and spices are added and it is slow-smoked with sweet apple wood, which gives it the great, unique KingB taste we prefer. Our Beef Jerky is around 96% fat free, low in carbohydrates, calories, very high in protein ( up to 50%) and has an extremely long shelf life without refrigeration. Is jerky healthy? [top] It is hard to find a healthier snack food. Take a look at our nutrition page and check out the nutritional graphs! For those trying to lose weight it is great as it has very low calories and extremely low fat content. For those wanting to put on muscle mass or who are involved in a physical hobby or line of work it has the highest protein content you are likely to find in any food. This will help rebuild aching muscles. All in all you'd be hard pushed to find a healthier snack. I've heard that Jerky
is used as a survival food. Our jerky is made from solid strips of beef. Once cured and smoked it's weight has decreased by almost two thirds. Therefore, a 25g serving of jerky has the equivalent food value of 80g's of lean steak. However, from a moisture point of view it works out at 200% meat, therefor a 25g bag would be the equivalent of 50g of lean trimmed beef with normal moisture. This means that it takes up less room and weight in a climber or trekker's luggage. The larger packets of jerky come in resealable bags so it doesn't all have to be eaten at once.
Beef Jerky is now an important travel snack for all his expeditions. Recently, he even introduced Beef Jerky on a German television show!
Beef Jerky now plays an important role in their food consumption. It was also a delicious snack during the training in Spain (Summer 2000) and at the Sydney-Hobart Race in the southern hemisphere. Beef Jerky will obviously play an important part as a nutritional snack on the hardest ocean regatta in the world: The Volvo Ocean Race, starting in Southampton, England in September 2001. For all sailors, jerky offers a source of meat that keeps for a year without a fridge. You can cook with it too! We are proud to sponsor Jonathan Burleigh in his attempt at a solo Sea Kayak circumnavigation of Iceland in May 2003. The journey is set to take around three months and Jonathan will use Wild West Beef Jerky as a major source of protein for his trip. Find out more by going to his web site: Iceland Expedition Who eats jerky? [top] Just about everyone eats jerky. Of course vegetarians don't but that's about it. Jerky has been the fastest growing segment of the American snack food market for the last decade and is now found in almost every store that sells any kind of food at all, from garage forecourts to large supermarket chains. Initially, it was the hardworking man and the old fashioned cowboys who used to eat it but now it is even recommended by some as a teething aid for babies! Jerky has been available on the continent for some time now and between us and our European cousins we have received over 16,000 emails about our jerky! How does your jerky have such a long shelf life? [top] Our jerky bags contain small sachets of AgelessTM. Ageless can reduce the oxygen in an airtight package down to 0,01% (100ppm) or less to prolong the product's shelf life. Conventional preservatives, antioxidants, gas purging and vacuum packing are often not effective because they do not completely eliminate the oxygen. With Ageless, the result is longer-lasting freshness and improved quality products. AGELESS conforms with all the relevant food laws and regulations. It has been used for decades in Japan and America for preservation of product freshness. N.B. Do not eat the ageless oxygen absorber! Where can I find Wild
